CHAPTER XIV.
ye Suls BIesse.

As usual, when we got to Brest there
was rush work day and night on the
Cassard 10 get her out and supplies of
all kinds were loaded for our next
visit to the Turks. The French gar
bies were always keen for the trip
back to Brest-they were sure of load
Ing up on tobacco and other things
they needed.
My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles
was different from the others. The
Cassard was doing patrol work at the
time In the neighborhood OF Cape
Helles. Those Of us who had served
on the Peninsula before were thank
Ing our stars for the snap we were
having-just cruising around waiting
for something to happen.
We had not been there very long be-
fore something unexpected did happen,
for we ran into two enemy cruisers
which I afterwards heard were the
VERT and Kaiserllche Marlne-One on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed to sneak up
so near us 1 do not know. They
opened up on us at not much more
than a thousand yards and gave us a
hot time from the start, though with
any kind Of gunnery they should have
done for us thoroughly.
We came right back at them and
were getting in some pretty good shots.
/ was In the 14-inch gun turret, star
board bow-my old hangout-and we
were letting them have IL about four
shots every five minutes and scoring
heavily.
do not know how long we had been
fighting when part Of our range finder
was carried away. II was so hot,
though. and we were so hard at II that
such a little thing like that did not
bother us. II Is hot In any gun turret,
but / have always noticed that II is
hotter there I'm the Dardanelles than
In any other place. The sweat would
simply cake up on us. until our faces
were Just covered with film Of pow
derry stun.
But the range finder was carried
away. and although II looked bad for
us ! was feeling so good that / vol
unteered to go on deck and get an
other one. i got outside the turret
door and across the deck, got the nee
essary parts and was coming back
with them when l received two ma
chine-gun bullets In the right thigh.
One went clear through bone and all
and drilled a hole on the other side.
while the other came within an inch
of going through. The peculiar thing
Is that these two were In a line above
the wound got at Dixmude. The line
IL almost as straight as you could
draw II with a ruler.

was not punishment out Just the op-
posite.
When people ask me what I have
received my decoration for (Croix de
Guerre), ! tell them ] do not rightly
know, and that Is a fact. I do not
know whether II was for going back
from those trenches or for destroying
the storehouses. So always tell them
! got II for working overtime. That
Is what the Llmeys say. or II they
have the Victoria cross they say they
got II for being very careless. Ask
one Of them and see.
All OF us were certainly glad TO be
iboard the Cassard again. and II any
place ever looked like home 20 me Il
was the old ship. our casualties were
very high and we were therefore or
dered to put back to Brest We had
a great little celebration that night,
and next morning weighed anchor and
started back, after clearing for action.
i was still pretty blue-about Muir
ray, but very much relieved as 10 the
safety OF my own skin, and I figured
that after the Dardanelles and my last
day there they had not made the right
bullet for me yet. The rest Of us felt
about the same way and we were sing
Ing all the time.

dispelled all doubts of his age

asked him the date OF his birth.
The fact was then brought out
that he was nearly 20 years past

Extract From Letter.

An extract from the letter says:
These small French towns are odd
and quaint old places, unlike anything
you ever saw: but no matter how
small or dirty the place may be it al
ways has a large church or cathedral
and they all have those tall steeples
that can be seen for miles away.
There is a historical old town near
here that is surrounded by thick stone
walls and deep meats and you have to
cross three drawbridges before you
enter the town.
''They have a large cathedral there
that was built ages ago. 1t is beauti-
full inside and out. You can obtain
some beautiful views from the edge OF
the town owing to it's high elevation
