82 WHEELOCK Ships and Smiles 'cGracious! I should have thought the .Mongolia was docking in the Fenway! Bob was heard to remark on the eventful morning when the transport Movzgolia docked at Commonwealth Pier. Like Peace Day, we arose in the dark and chilly dawn. Perhaps we did make a little noise getting ready, but can you blame us? Some of us had personal friends on the boat, and those of us that didn't were excited on general principles. There were several adventures of interest on the way down. First Alu hlanson, with her usual c'pep, rushed ahead and caught a subway train, but sad to say, she found herself on the train, alas fa lassj alone! Then Anna held up the mad rush to the dock by spilling her vanity case all over the street. Arriving at our destination, we ran down the aptly named Fish Pier. There we collected and appropriated convenient running boards' of empty machines. It was not long before the good ship .Mongolia appeared on the horizon. As she approached, the whistles of all the little tugs and Hshing schooners screeched their welcome. Bedlam reigned supreme. The transport sailed in majestically, an enormous gray ship swarming with khaki figures. The more venturesome soldiers even climbed the rigging, so anxious were they for the first glimpse of the good old U. S. A. When they caught sight of Qld Glory waving in the breeze, and their loved ones waiting in crowds on the dock beneath, a lusty cheer broke from a thousand throats. Then soldiers and people, too touched for further demon- stration, silence covered all as the transport made her landing. This was their welcome home. This was the perfect tribute to their supreme sacrifice. hlarch on in glory, Oh, noble twenty-sixth! VVell you deserve our heartiest welcome, and warmest praises! Soon we were forced to come down to earth and wend our home- ward way. Wie departed with a warm glow of satisfaction in our hearts, agreeing that this certainly had been a worth while trip, and an experience long to be remembered. JOSEPHINE LOVELAND.
