doomed to destruction.
Ensign Gherardi and J. j. Jiminez,
civil engineer, ran along the beach
until they were nearly opposite the
two vessels. "Gherardi at once
plunged into the water with all his
clothes on" says the report, "and be-
gan dragging the unfortunate ones
from the waves and bringing them to
shore. He ordered those on board to
make fast, but they were so terrorized
that they were unable to do anything
but jump into the water, where they
were picked up by Gherardi and jim

end securely to neighboring tree.

curity while storm of bullets may
be passing overhead. Nor will rifle
bullets penetrate an earthwork to any
distance. Bullets from a Lee-Metford
rife will penetrate further than those
from Mauser, while those from a
Mauser will go further than those fired
from a Martini. Shots from MaXiIns
or other rapid-fire guns are similarly
ineffective against earthworks. The
only way in which soldiers can be dis
lodged from such position is by the
use of heavy artillery, and even in that
case the firing must be extremely ac-
curate, so that the shells will burst i'm
mediately above the trenches. This, of
course, requires not only extremely ac-
curate craftsmanship but the expendi-
ture of great quantity of ammunition.
