We have iots of singing after “lights out,” and always have in afew spud Is- landers as visitors. The other night we had nocandie and Dillon went in search of one. He went straight to “G’s” officers’ tent and asked for one. They haionly one there but they gave Dillon half. We were stopped froin milking the cattle as the boys frightened them too much.
