Soldiers recount voyage aboard transport Logan
William E. Smith of the Philippines, with the Thirty third, relays a lurid tale from the voyage to the United States. He claims wormy food and filthy quarters aboard the Logan. A female passenger provoked a near mutinous reaction with insulting remarks about the soldiers. Col. Ware intervened to spare the girl. Some men sought to throw her overboard but she was confined and later removed at San Francisco. Smith condemns military service and recalls nursing leprosy cases and smallpox aboard.
