They appeared first in The Hatchet of the Trans- port Service of America, the daily newspaper pub- lished on the high seas by @ Joint board of army and naty officers for the boys going acros: Copies of the third volume have just been received ia New York, and “Letters to Mable” bas the place of honor on the first page of the second issue, “Private Bill” has suffered no sea change.
