Joe Hawson Has Returned
Joe Hawson has returned after about eight weeks across the water, having had a delightful visit, but glad to get back home again. Mr. Hawson left just before the European trouble broke out and they knew nothing of the war until two days before reaching England. Joe visited his old home in Stockton, also London, Liverpool, and a number of other places. His twenty-eight years absence made him almost a a foreigner there, so much so in fact that he had lost much of the English brogue and he accordingly looked upon as a foreigner, by those who did not know him. In some places he was taken for a German spy. Money was hard to get, but he was fortunate in meeting a former friend who was a banker. His return trip was on the Mauretania. The water was smooth all the way, and he had no sea sickness.
