watching silently and grimly as their
ship sailed away from the tropical
island with its cocoanut trees and its
hinterland Of jungle, and then their
hasty consultation with the three lone
officers left to them.
This group of coral islands in the
Indian ocean furnished Charles OAR

Facing Desperate Situation.
As the lone little party Of 40 stand
staring out at sea and listening to the
diminishing sound of the battle they
look back at the employees Of the
cable station, the new British inhab-
itants. all of whom they have treated
with respect. Myriads of sea fowl,
frigate birds, boobies and terms from
the neighboring uninhabited islands
wheel and scream challenges in the
air. The afternoon wanes and there
is no return of the Emden or the men
Of the Sydney. BY now the little party
begins to fear that the victory had
f-llen to the Australian ship with its
longer range guns They will be COM
ing back-but the 40 men cannot fight
the crew of big cruiser. They must
get away. But where? How?
True seamen feel safest with the

what sort of deck. At the shore, her

southern island. Ross had command

the old. free, devil-may-care spirit Of
the buccaneer days.
In the name of the islands where
she was finally driven ashore there
was a wealth of historic suggestion

the Teuton vengeance upon his Brit
ish enemy without the loss of a

In the IA weeks she had sent terror
into the heart of every British mer-
chantman's captain and had done
damage estimated from four to twenty
millions of dollars. 1t would have
made any Of the old pirates turn over
In their sea-washed graves to have
heard such sum mentioned. and Paul
Jones, the yankee skipper, who did
little twisting of the lions tail in his
day, would have taken of his hat and
struck palms with sturdy, boyish look

den.
The story of her raiding the ship
ping of the allies reads so much like
the stories of the days when the free
sea rovers attacked, rolled, scuttled
and sank ships that the collector OF
data about the pirates would be
tempted to give the gallant and legiti-
mate little Emden a place in his gal
lery of buccaneers and when he came
to the end of the Emden the tempta-
ton would be almost irresistible but
that the Emden was legitimate war
ship.
The End Of the Emden.
THE Emden, which had been COM
pletely lost sight of after her action
with the Russian cruiser Jemtchug,
arrived at Keeling, or Cocos island,
and landed an armed party to destroy
the wireless station" the dispatches
stated. Here she was caught and
forced to fight by the Australian
cruiser Sydney, Capt. John Glossop.
A sharp action took place, in which
the Sydney suffered the loss OF three
men killed and Is wounded. The EN-
den was driven ashore and burned.
Her losses in personnel are reported
rs very heavy"
Three officers and 40 men had been
landed, all fully armed and having four
Maxim guns. The cable station was
seized, the instruments smashed. the
operators were turned out and guns
were set over all the buildings. sThe
electrical stores were blown up. At
this point the Emden sounded her

LONDON, March 5.-The most pic
turesque and wierd hour of all the
life in the trenches is the time be-
tween sunset and the fall of darkness.
If the real picture were put on the
stage, it wouldn't be believed. AS you
sit and watch it yourself, you feel that
your eyes and your mind are deceiv-
ing you. The gold in the western sky
turns to red, the shadows lengthen
and the gulch of the trench is filed
with the deepening darkness of early
night. 1t begins to grow cold and
the frost crystals form on the muddy
sides of the trenches, giving the eff
feet Of tinsel or bits of bright stones.

Silhouetted against the sky is the
erect figure of legion soldier. his
glistening bayonet protruding above
the trench wall and catching the dy-
ing glare of tho suns light. Further
along are the ugly shadows of the
machine guns, frightened By the pol
ished brass work
AS the darkness grows deeper, you
catch a glimpse of sharp pinpoini
of light en- a distant hill which f1ickers
in the telegraph code message from
a French battery to It's comrado many
miles distant. They are talking OF
some new plot to kill human beings.
There is a rattle of rifles and their
quick flashing, first at one point in
your trench and then at another.
Then from afar comes the putt-putt
OF Maxim gun. Nightfall is the ma
chine guns hour. During the hours
of day the machine gun men have got
their ranges and fixed their aim and
now, in the darkness, when their prec-
ious guns are safest from the sharp
shooters, they flare out the result Of
the days work. From distant cor
ners of the compass comes the roar Of
deep hroated battries.
The stars seem all the brighter be-
cause you are gazing at them from
the bottom of your black trench. Sud-
denly the sky is bisected by an arc of
sparks, terminated by a beautiful
glare of bright white light, which
transforms night into day for the
space of many seconds. 1t is a night
light sent up by the enemy to see what
we are doing. We might possibly,
they think. be out of our trenches

with our bayonet charging at them
through the darkness.
After the white light fades. the
darkness seems darker than ever. The
bullets whistle and shrek overhead
almost necessarily All the night ii
will be like this-noises end lights
noises and lights. The night is filled
with danger and surprises. Daylight
charges are never made; it is in the
nighttime, in the smallest, wierdest
hours, that either the Germans leave
their trenches or we leave ours to run
ahead into a hand-to-hand stabbing
affray with the enemy.
The grey of morning is a sight of
good cheer. In our trench we meas
ure the morning light by whether or
not we can see the legs of the jug
gler" fluttering in the wind.
" The juggler" was the corpse of a
Frenchman, which for six weeks lay
some two hundred feet in front Of
our trenches on his back, with his
arms outstretched, canvas water
bucket clutched in each hand. his legs
sticking up into the air, in spot so
deadly from rifle fire that no one
could reach him. The dead man lay
there through the nights and days.
The Fernch called this grottesque
heap the "juggler" because they re-
membered that Japanese athletes
stretched themselves out in this dead
Frenchman's posture and tossed
things about with their feet.
When the rags on the legs of the
'juggler" were plainly seen, then we
knew that morning had come, another
night of madness had passed, and we
might sleep until the night lights and
the night noises broke again at sun
set
