H---------------------------------------------THE Smith, who was managing the Blue Bonnet ranch in that state. It took us about a week to cross the Atlantic Ocean. After landing in Cherbough, April 29. and while waiting transportation to take us to a base hospital somewhere in France, imagine our surprise when we met our old friend. ACORN------------------------------------------ Darter Myers. We demanded that he give an account of himself and he told us that he was engaged in some mechanical work in connection with trying out a new gun that was to be used in the army. We had no time to learn anything further as our train was coming and we were forced to hasten on rejoicing. G. S., '18.
