Pho followinc letter written bv Wm. McGeachin, '03. who Is now enroute for the Philippines to enter the native constabulary as a second lieutenant, has been platted at our disposal through MB courteHy of the frlondXb whom It was addressed. As wljKbe seen from tue letter Itself, It. was written on board ship In latitude 23 lrgrees, y minutes, 31 seconds north and longitude 1G3 de grees, 17 minutes, 43 seconds west about 350 miles from Honolulu Here Is tbo letter as handed to us: Aug. 31. M903. Dear : Will Just scratch off a few lines to paes the time away. We are about Eighteen hundred miles from 'Frisco now, and abouj. 300 from Honolulu. We will be in Honolulu tomorrow. I have arranged for several stops before I get to Manila. Prom Honolulu we go to Yokahoma, Japan, and from there to Toklo by rail. We then go to Kobe and Nagasaki, also In Japan, and then to Shanghai by steamer. I nave the privilege of a thlr tjxlay stopover at Hong Kong; ETTff from there I will go to Canton, the metropolis of China. I don't know just 'when I'll get to Manila. ' I had a very pleasant trip to 'Frisco. I spent one day in Denver and two in Salt iake, and had three days left at 'Frlecb. I had friends la both Salt Lake and 'Frisco, so I saw both towns in good shape. Just outside San Francisco bay the sea was1 very rough and nearly every one, myself included, was soa-slck. Some of them are still "all in." I was sick only about two hours. Everyone is acquainted now and the sea is very smooth and the weather perfect, and consequently we are hav ing a dandy time. There arc about seventy cabin passengers and It's a swell crowd. Everyone comes down to dinner in full dress. Wo are going to have a grand ball tonight There is a crowd of young French men on board. They speak English fluently and are very jolly and enter taining. One is a lieutenant in the French army and he and I have become very good friends. The whole crowd are oa a pleasure trip around the world. The sailors on the ship are Japs and I tell you they are lively llttlo fellows. I saw a couple, ofthem fencing yester day and, excuse me, I don't want to mix with any of them in that business. Thero are a lot of Chinamen down in the steerage. They aro not allowed on deck; so I went down to see them. They were playlngfan-tan, shooting craps, smoKing opium and raising Cain in general, 'l he Chinamen look easy compared with t.ie Japs. Wo have all kinds of amusements on board boxing, fencing, quoits, ping .pong, deck billiards and we also have a swimming pool upon the bow of Lie jThc Fun i of Shavingr llll Ill II I I I II I I I II II I II I Walter Hlltner, '03, manager of last year's basket-ball team.
