French Waiting

The British have re-taken Contal-
maison and are again in control Of
nearly the entire extent of Trones
wood and Mametz wood. There has
been desperate fighting in both of
these sectors for several days past.
The French along the Somme carried
out some minor detached operation
which enabled them to strengthen
their position at La Maisonnette, and
apparently the French are waiting for
the British to straighten out their line
before making the attempt to drive
the Germans out of Peronne.

the scene of a horrible butchery. From
the pools of blood and the enormous

mails had been killed, but on examining
the remains more closely we discov-
cred that all this carnage came from
one Of these unwieldy monsters, which
had been literally torn to pieces by
some creature not larger, perhaps, but
far more ferocious, than itself.

as are still found among the breccia

That morning we mapped out a small
portion of the plateau, avoiding the
swamp Of the pterodactyls and keeping
to the east OF our brook instead of to
the west In that direction the coun-

much underground that our progress
