Water to tho depth of a foot, cyclonic
winds, blinding lightning and a cloudburst
for a half hour wero tho features of a
storm that struck the camp of Company
B, Knglneers, of Philadelphia, hero last
night. The storm broke Just at suppertlmo,
and, although It reached a fury unseen hen)
for more than a decade, It did little dam

ceded In nbout nn hour.
Very few of the personal betonglngs of
the men got wet ns everything wns oft

got soaked to the skin In saving their shel

quinine felt little 111 cfTect.
For the first 10 minutes of the storm the
hlg 5-foot drains held, and the camp was
comparatively dry. Soon, however, tho mass
of water rushing down the valley from the
foothills surrdundlng the camp hit tho
drains and, oerwhelmlng them to a depth
of from six Inches to a foot, Inundated tho
camp with the exception of tho officers

powerful were the floods that several tele

to put up father up the alley wero Bwept

Boxes, cots and everything that was not

noticed that "Luke" has been getting that
way ever since he bought that mouth organ.
"Van" Connell Is Improving with the
pick. Within five minutes, while digging a
drain, he knocked one man cold (name
deleted) and tore the side out of Corporal
J. M, Colllns's breeches. Tho boys say
Van's got to stop picking on them or there

Every rooklo In the camp has asked Ser

big blue figures on his white Jersey means.
No ono has gotten an answer! it's one of
the mysteries of tho camp.

enough. Yesterday he missed one or,
