    FLYING WITH SHAFFER
Sitting With the Dead
Ijetters From a Dauphin Boy to His Mother
The aOventures of an American
airman, and a Ilarrisburg boy at
that, will bo printed in the Harris
burg Telegraph regularly for the
next two weeks following the arrival
of a batch of the interesting letters
from the French front from Walter
J. Shaffer to his mother, Mrs. C. E.
Shaffer, of Dauphin.
Shaffer now is ready to go Into
combat with the Boches after many
months of gruelling training. His
latest letters tell of exciting times
many hundred feet over the Hun
lines where he is beginning to "get
the feel" of the battles that are to
come.
One of these days when Shaffer
gets Into actual combat with a Taub,
readers of the Telegraph, we hope,
will have & chance to read a classic,
for Shaffer can entertain with home
ly, simply facts and experiences,
and an air battle ought to be some
thing thrilling. In series, be
ginning to-day, he gives many in
cidents of the life of a flyer, details
that have a real clutch to one liv
ing snug at home. Imagine going
four miles in the air with the tem
perature down at zero on earth. His
picture of the French comedian in
one letter is realistic and vivid. His
account of the pilot's funeral in the
letter of December 29 brings one to
the spot with all its tragedy.
Somewhere in France,
Dec. 29, 1917.
Dear Mother: Taking it all in all,
this sure was some punk day all
on account of a dead man, too.
Honest to goodness, they cause more
trouble than live ones, for the
French have a gruesome custom of
keeping two men watching the bddy
for three days. I doiv't know what
the idea is. They surely couldn't ex
pect him to wake up. Anyway, #a
pilot was killed in an accident the
other day and immediately the
watchers were "toled" off, for its an
official ceremony. But since the
dead pilot was not in my escadrille,
1 thought it wouldn't affect me. Xo
such luck though, as last night down
come an official note saying that 1
and another Frenchman should
leave for Chalons the next morning
to take our turn watching.
Furthermore the paper stated that
a truck left at 7 A. M. which meant
we crawled out at ti A. M. and that
went mighty hard considering that
we are used to getting up at S A. M.
As would be natural in a case like
this. 1 was sleeping peacefully away
at 6.30. The Frenchman come hunt
ins me with a flashlight and routed

FRIDAY EVENING,
mo rudely out. So afraid was ho of
missing that truck that we didn't
even stop for some hot coffee, for
which said Frenchy was mightly
sorry soon after, because we had
made the mistake of being on time.
And Frenchmen don't work that
way as a rule. If they don't happen
to be ready on schedule, well and
good, anytime after that is good en
ough. So we waited around, then
for two hours while the mechanics
thawed the engine out. By the time
the engine was warmed up we were
ready to have the same thing done
to us. Glory, but it was cold! Good
thing we had no thermometer, else
we might have suffered more.
Real Thine in Cold Feet
Judging from the feeling in my
feet, the mercury was frozen. The
said part of it was thfere was no fire
to look forward to, since, as my
French comrade explained to me in
his broken English, it was impos
sible to have a fire in a room with
the dead body. Naturally, after this
cheerful news, I did not enjoy the
auto ride much to town. My feet
got colder also. So when I got off
at the hospital, I felt as if I was
walking on stilts, for all the feeling
left in my feet. The Frenchman did
all the hunting around for informa
tion as to where the "morgue" was,
and he finally was told it was behind
the chapelle. So in the chapelle we
went, me right behind my French
guide ready to go or do what ever
he did, for I had no idea what was
expected of me. I got the tlrst mo
tion all right, which was to remove
the hat as soon as entering this
small-sized church, but he was too
fhst with the next move, and ajty
way, I being a Protestant saw no
need to cross myself. Right after
that I lost all interest in comrade,
the dead, church, and everything
else, for down in the far corner was
a stove —with fire In it. I was so
cold I was nearly numb, and dead
or no church I was going to get
warm, so I draws up a chair as if I
were going to camp there for the
rest of the winter.
Shocked Frenchman
To Fay that Frenchman looked
shocked would be putting it mildly,
for heremarked in a shocked, awed
way, "You can't stay here! Fearing
a second shock would cause him
heart failure, I had the good sense
not to ask "Pourguoi" (Why?) and
went along with him to a little of
fice where we were told to wait until
some stout gentleman found the key
;to the morgue. There was another
I tire in this office, which I made good
| use of a few moments I was there,
so good in fact, that I forgot to sa
| lute a captain sitting nearby. He
I didn't say anything though, and I
' wouldn't have given a hang if he
I had, for that matter. Then came
! the fat man and through the chap-
I elle we went again, with me looking
! longingly at the lire as we passed
through, and on out the back door,
to the morgue. The body of the
dead pilot lay in a small room which
! looked like a dungeon and was just
i about as cold as the ones you read
I about Why, doggone it! It was so
cold in there the holy water was
l frozen.
; That surprised me considerably,
' since I always presumed that was
free from natural laws. There was
a small bushy bough frozen in this
holy water, used for sprinkling holy
water on the deceased, I suppose, for
that was the tlrst thing the French
man tried to do. Seeing that the
pressure system wasn't working and
no water came he went through the
motions of making a cross with it,
and then horrors of horrors, gave
it to me. I didn't know what to do
with the darn thing, so dipped some
imaginary water up and imitated his
motions—with such little success
that I no doubt shocked him some
more and then began our lonely
vigil, for after lifting the cover and
seeing how badly he was bunged up,
there was nothing else interesting to
do but sit there and freeze. (The
pilot was killed by falling into a
"vrille" from 600 meters, probably
numbed by the cold, and there we
stayed for three long hours and the
Frenchman kept his hat off all this
timip, and I naturally followed suit.
In Order to keep our feet warm he
walked up and down on one side of
the bed and I on the other, and as
I walked up and down, up and down,
I was thankful I was not bald head
ed. Even with thick head of hair
my brain was beginning to feel the
climate.
Relief Delayed
Orders said we were only to stay
there until 10 A M. when two others
would relieve us, but 10 o'clock came
and no relief. There was nothing
to it but stay and watch, for the
the Frenchman said we had to
until others came to take our places.
Another hour passed, slowly and the
corpse hadn't moved yet—neither
had relief come and we nearly had
a path worn in the stone flagging
where we had walked up and down
in a vain attempt to keep warm.
About this time, I was beginning to
wish Sherman's definition of war
was literally correct. At least, it
would be warm anyway. Another
fact was also forcibly impressed on
me, and that was that hobnailed
shoes may save leather and prevent
slipping, but for quick conductors of
cold you can't beat them. 'They are
as quick conductors of cold as elec
tricity—heat also, for I've had one
foot nearly in the fire for the last
five minutes and got a few of these
rivets red hot. It gave me an idea
as Well as a burnt toe. To-morrow
morning I'll heat all the hobnails
before going to work) And so an
other (hour passed and then the
Frenchman's hunger overcame his
respect for dead and duty, and he
suggested we phone to camp and
see what was the matter with the re
serves, and then go eat, for he was
so hungry that his head ached. The
suggestion was good, and I assured
him I would sqe that the body
wasn't spirited away while he phon
ed. He soon returned with the In
formation that the "Commandant"
said it was too perfect a day to spare
any pilots for watch duty, which
was about the most sensible thing I
have yet heard from Frenchmen;
for this "watch" custom struck me
as very useless and unnecessary and
it made me wonder if they did it
when a whole regiment died at once.
It would take a whole army to do
watch duty. What made me sore,
besides freezing so slowly and use
lessly, was the fact that here was a
beautiful day going to waste and me
not flying—and I haven't flown for
a week, for good days are rare, and
the Captain won't let me go up other
days. AH I have to say is that I
hope they don't take six pilots oft
the front 4f a Boche gets me. It
would please my spirit much better
if each of the six went out and got a
Boche. Had dinner in town and
then it was I realized how cold my
hands had become even with gloves
on, for they were so numb I could
not ctlt my meat —and then to crown
the whole day I had to walk home
a distance of five miles.
Warm At I.<ast
But that's over now and ns I sit
here beside a warm fire in my chateau
home I feel quite at peace with the
world—all except the Boche.—Got
in Dutch again here for swiping
wood from the nearby woods. Own
er pot sore as the deuce and threat
ened to report us to the Captain. I
don't kno\y whether he did or not,
and I didn't care a whole lot, for
we have to keep warm. That stopp
ed gathering wood in ,the chateau
grounds, however, but svo still get
wood just the same, and for once
In my life, I can say I really enjoy
cutting wood, which statement, I
bet, will sure make Dad laugh. You
see we have to get it on the sly now,
since we dare not cut trees down
and there is no other wood; so along
about dark, one of my French room
mates puts the saw under his cdat
and I the hatchet under mine and
we sally forth. Getting to the pine
forests, for all the trees are pine,
we saw a small tree oft right at the
ground, chop it up and bring the
whole tree, limbs, leaves and all in
the room, and chop it up. At the
present rate we burn one tree a
night, so the war had better not last
very long since the forests are not
large and will soon dissapear at the
present rate. Furthermore, hiding
the stump with a covering of snow
won t help much if no other trees
surround the stump.
Am still hearing from men in the
shop at which I worked in New York
and to-day I received a letter saying
that they, as a body, had sent me an
Xmas package, told me all the news
and Vvished me a Merry Xmas. The
wish was appreciated, but never
realized as It was neither merry nor
warm. Hang it all! I wish this
postal service would hurrv up those
packages. Got tired waiting for
them and yesterday went to Chalons
and bought candy, dates and figs
also two pies, the first in six months.
Tliey sure tasted good, but I didn't
act a pig and eat all the stuff up at
once* so still have some figs and
dates yet.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
as the water is ley cold. Just to give,
an Incident of how cold it is here—r
a glass of water spilled on the table
freezes immediately, for It is not
extraordinarily cold, no fire is made
in the dining room. Many a time
have I sat at the festive board and
shivered as between tourses I waited.
However, our Ice water don't cost us
anything and we have it every meal.
Put a bottle of water on the table
and a chunk of ice freezes in tire
bottom of it in two minutes. So
you see an aviato'f is not the only
thing that coji go into a cold sweat.
"Pinard," a brand of red wine much
in use, is the only drink of the
Frenchmen and we'asked them one
day why they drank so much of it.
iu answer was quite simple and to
the point—"lt keeps ue warm." He
might have added "noisy" also, for
after the warming up process there
are songs in all kinds of keys echo
ing through this beautiful but cold
chateau.
We get coffee every meal, black,
strong stuff that is drunk more for
its warming of feet than taste, as it's
about the only thing about the meal
that is really hot. Yesterday the
sugar played out and 'tis said we
pan get no more. So here's where
little Walter stops drinking coffee.
It's bad enough with sugar but
without—better give me castor oil.
The dearth of sugar didn't faze the
Frenchmen any, however, as they
used "jam" for sweetening. I don't
know how It tasted as I did not try
it, having used molasses in choco
late while camping one time. One
time was sufficient, believe me! Nev
er again!!
Get Jam? Rather
Oh, yes, we get Jam, and very
good jam it is, at the Army Mess,
so don't worry about my not getting
any sweets on my bread. I always
have received it even in Avord, al
though they serve it like dessert,
while I prefer it as a course. As
for butter, I have grown so used to
doing without, that I don't miss it
any more, so don't be surprised
when I come home to see me forget
to spread my .bread with butter.
'Tis a very stupid life I am liv
ing now, and about all I have to look
forward to is indigestion, because
about all I do is eat and sleep, the
weather being bad for flying nearly
every day. It probably will be so
for the next three months, which is

not to my liking, as X want to be
up and at them at least learning to
fly anyway, for contrary to preva
lent opinion my head has not
swelled. I'll admit it started a few
times, but a fatal accident to one
of my fellow students who made the
same mistakes I had made many
times, always reduced it to normal
again. 'Tis the same • here, for the
front Is the biggest training school
of all, and either you learn, and that
quickly, or you get an eternal con
tract with the angels. Only you
have no teacher to bawl you out. One
teaches himself and that is what
makes me so Sore at the weather, for
I want to get aloft and learn some
thing. You can see by the letter
how dopy and stupid I feel. A two
hours' flight would waken me up as
nothing else would, and then I could
write an interesting letter. Of
course, there is nothing much of in
terest to write now, since I do noth
ing but eat and sleep. Walked over
to "L Epive" yesterday to buy some
hankderc-hiotfs. You should have
seen what I got! She had no white
ones, except the ladies' kind and one
blow with this, cold in my head
would have finished it, so she asked
my if colored ones would mattor.
1 assured here it didn't matter so
long as the cloth was big enough to
tit my nose, and then she hauls out
u. big roll of calico and I began to
wonder if she had not mistaken my
French and and thought I asked
for an apron. It seemed not'though,
as she asked me how many I wished.
Considering the bright, nnd varied
colors thereon, I thought two would
be plenty. If they didn't hold the
cold they would scare it away, so
she cuts two yards off and there
were my handkerchiefs, with quite
enough goods in them to mako an
evening dress for Esther.
Describes His Work.
X have two kinds of work to do
now. One is "protection" duty,
where from three to five "chasse"
men go as a bodyguard to a big
plane carrying three men to take
photographs over the lines. Am very
anxious to go on one of these "mis
sions" as they are called, since it's a
lot inore exciting than sitting here
beside a dying fire and slowly freez
ing. The other kind of work is
called "chasse libre" which translat
ed means tnat one is free to hunt
the Boches. The only string to this
"chasse libre" stuft is that one is for
bidden to go out alone. Eitlier one
or two planes must go with one.
That is all well and good, but what
is one to do when one can't persuade
anyone to go with one, for when a
pilot is on "chasse libre" ho does
not have to fly unless he wishes and
to date, I have found very few pi
lots ready to hunt the Boche. Not
that I am ready as yet, but I would
like to get aloft and get the lay of
the land included in my patrol sec
teur.
The first day I was on "chasse
libre" the Captain cafme around and
told me the good news, also for
bidding me to go out alone. From
the impressive way he told me to get
two comrades to go with me, I am
FEBRUARY 22, 1918.
quite sure he thought I would have
gone out on my own hook—which 1
certainly would. Hpwever, orders
were orders, so I hunted around and
finally discovered a Frenchman, also
"chasse libre" who said he would go
with one when 1 explained that I
was only going behind the lines.
And then After 1 had my Hying
clothes all on and my engine warm
ed up he discovered something
wrong with his machine gun which
took him all day to fix. Gee! was I
sore! And then the Frenchman
could not understand why I was
sullen and moody all that evening.
I've been "■chasse libre" over since,
but It don't please mo a little bit,
since I have to depend on someone
else to make it of use. Nearly got
away yesterday with an American,
but luck was against me again for
Just as we were going to leave the
Captain comes down from a flight
and forbids us to go up, as there was
heavy fog at 700 meters, so I am
still resting, most fretfully and fum
ing as can be, but resting on the
ground nevertheless.
And now If's dinner time again
and I have to KO and eat again. Not
because X want to. It's a bad habit
I acquired in the States and have
not been able to get rid of.
