Battle For the Shack
After taking five hours 20 get round
the shahty, the sergeant called for the
occupants to come out and surrender
fng no reply, he ordered his men to fire,
which, OF course, they did, and then
the door was opened very giRgerly and
out came three Cinnamon who were so
frightened that they aI fell in heap
and nothing would make them get up.
inst at this time up came the adiutant,
who was grabbed by one of the half
castles, who roared at him, Seventeen
shots, three flaming elbows, come
and have a look misteri'
THEY were as proud Of IL as IL they
had captured a whole German army,
and " possible, in the morning they
were moro, so, when they saw that only
one man had missed the shanty. It IL
simply wonderful how the Cinnamon
escaped being shot. ia
Telephone Wires Out 4.5.
"'The telephone wires were cut in
several places, in most ingenious way,
one line at each post so that only an
expert could detect Il, rs an ordinary.
person looking at the lines would see
the wires from post TO post, and would
not suspect anything the matter.
"Foot prints were found at different
places, and sufficient evidence came TO
light TO prove that there were Germans
at large, but up to the present we
have been unable to capture them.

is a great capture He refused TO say on
what island he had put the crews of
the ships that he had sunk, but said
that they had plenty to eat and drink.
Peace Footing Again
Although the forces are demobilized
now, they are likely to be called out
at O minutes notice. The difficulty
here is that there are such a lot Of
Germans at large, and il has been prov.
ed that they were trying to assist the
captured ones, so I believe that the
are at last going to intern
the lot. Up to the present only those
Of whom they were suspicious were
sent away 10 Australia for internment.
