Soldier's Bride Returns After Failed Masquerade
A U S sergeant married in the U S and sailed with his bride who tried to pass as a soldier named Sammie to stay with him on the transport. The plan failed aboard the Atlatic port and the bride did not join him. The voyage also carried the body of a fallen soldier. In another accident, seven year old Joseph Wendell drowned in the Westfield River after a riverbank accident as a dog and boy struggled, with the dog later rescuing and losing its owner. Arthur Basote aided in recovery, per orders.
