The cruiser found hundreds starving persons at Beirut and took them Go Hayre.
 Members of the crew said the crew said the wounded in Alexandria told them the Australian troops suf- fered especially in their attempts to land under Turkish fire. The Austral- ians' first attempt was made from the southern side at dawn when men in small boats met the terrific fire from Turkish batteries and trenches close to the shore A third of the boats were sunk and scores drowned, among them most of officers. 1t is said. Pressing forward dauntlessly the sur viyors landed but were demoralized by loss of their officers.
