good to us, you can bet, and we said
if we never put our hoofs on that place
again it would be soon enough.
We were shelled on our way out to
the Cassard, and one boat was over
turned, but the men were rescued.
Two men in the launch / was in were
wounded. But we did not pay any
attention to that Smelling Turks
might just as well have been blowing
peas at us through soda straw for
all we cared.
/ noticed that when we came near
the Cassard the other boats held up
and let our launch get into the lead,
and that we circled around the Cas-
sard's bows and came up on the star
board side, which was unusual. But
| did not think anything Of it until l
came over the side. There were the
side boys lined up, and the Old Man
was there, with the ships steward
beside him.
He took the log book from the stew
ard and showed it to me, and there
was my name on it. Now when you
are punished for anything you are
logged, but l could not figure out what
l had done to get punished for, so 1
was very much surprised. But the
Old Man slapped me on the back and
everybody cheered, and then | saw it
was not punishment, but just the OPP
posite.
When people ask me what have
received my decoration for (Croix de
Guerre), I tell them I do not rightly
know. and that is a fact. / do not
know whether it was for going back
from those trenches or for destroying
| got it for working overtime. That
is what the Limeys say, or If they
have the Victoria cross they say they
got it for being very careless. Ask
one Of them and see.
All of US were certainly glad to be
aboard the Cassard again, and if any
place ever looked like home to me it
was the old ship. Our casualties were
very high and we were therefore or
dered to put back to Brest. We had
great little celebration that night,
and next morning weighed anchor and
started back. after clearing for action.
was still pretty blue about MUIR
ray, but very much relieved as to the
safety Of my own skin, and 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.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CHAPTER xIv-continued.

When l looked around / saw that
our real position was to the right of
where the artillery was, and that there
were three lines of trenches with
French infantry in them. So the
trenches / had come from were more
like outposts than anything else, and
were cut off. felt pretty sure, them
that the soys In them would never
come back alive, because as soon. as
their fire let up the Turks would adj
vance, and to keep them back our guns
would have to wipe out our men. and
if they did not, the Turks would. AT
first / was glad had come out, but
then l remembered what the artillery
officer had said and 1 figured | would
have to go back and stay with them
or bring them back. Either way there
was not one chance in a hundred that
any of us would make it. Because
when I got through it was really just
a miracle and nobody would have
thought it could happen.
Then the officer told me to go back
to the beach, where our naval guns
were, and that was detailed to them.
Maybe you do not think was glad?
But there was rough work still ahead
of me, because when I got behind the
third line ! saw wide open field that
was light gray from the shell smoke
hanging over it. and could see the
flashes where the big ones were doing
their work, and had to go through
that field.
1 fell time and again, sometimes
when l thought a shell was near and
sometimes when had no reason for
lt--only / was thirsty again, and was
shivering all, the time, and was SO
weak l could not have choked gold
fish. do not remember hardly any
thing about going through that field,
and you might say the next thing |
knew was when l was overtaken by
"a dispatch runner, and got in a tin
tub at the side of a motorcycle and
was taken to the guns.
[ felt ready for Rip Van Wrinkle
nap then, but the officer in command
would not let me. He said they were

Americans open Korean Mine.

The Seoul Press announces that an
arrangement has been made to work
a gold ard silver mine at Chaidong,
Kuyongmyon, Yangtok district, South
Pyongando, with a capital Of 100000
yen, 100000 yen being subscribed by
Koreans and the rest by Americans.
Preparation is now being made to erect
a refinery. The mine is believed to be
exceedingly rich in gold and silver the
vein of ore being from / to % feet
in thickness, and the concession being
100000 tsubo in area.

short of gunners-the terrific sh cling
had killed off dozens of them-and as
he knew could point gun he had
ordered them oyer the telephone to
get me to the beach as fast as posi-
bic. He spotted the two warehouses
] have spoken of for me and said it
was up to us to put them out of COM
mission. The gun was 14-inch naval,
and that looked good to me, so /
bucked up lot. The warehouses were
about 10 or II miles away, should
judge, and about 80 or 40 yards apart.
l felt very weak, as / have said,
and shivered every once in while,
so ! did not think l could do much
cunning worth whistling at. But they
loaded the old 14-inch and made ready,
and we got the range and all was set.
The officer told me to let her ride.
so / said to myself, '"This is one for
you, Murray, old boy. Let's go from
here
SO I sent that one along and she
landed direct and the warehouse went
up in fire and smoke. felt good then,
and laid the wires on the other ware
house and let her go. But she was too
high and / made a clean miss. Then
l was mad. because l had sent that
one over for myself. So got the cross
wires on the warehouse again and,
/ said to myself, ''This is not for any
body, just for luck, because l sure
have had plenty of it today"
Io
wires and into the charge. and away
she went. and up went the second
warehouse. That made two directs out
of three, and guess it hurt the Turks
some to lose all their ammunition.
The officer kissed me before / could
duck and slapped me on the back and
I keeled over was just all in.
They brought me to with rum, and
they said l was singing when 1 came
to. When they tried to sing, to show
me what song it was, figured it was
"Sweet Adeline" they meant. But /
do not believe l came to, singing, be-
cause 1 never sang "Sweet Adeline"
before, that / know of, or any other
song when anybody was in range. But

did sing it at that.
Then / went to sleep feeling fine.
The next morning the detachment
from the Cassard was Withdrawn, and
I saw some of the men who had been
in the two trenches, but / was not
near enough to speak to them. So
do not know how they got out.

your life than we were when we piled

CHAPTER XIV.
Je suis BIesse.

Je SuiS BleSSe.
AS usual, when we got to Brest there
was rush work day and night on the
Cassard to 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 afterwards heard were the
VERT and Kaiserliche Martinique on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed to sneak up
SO near us | do lot know. They
opened up on US at not much more
than 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 it about four
shots every five minutes and scoring
heavily.
I do not know how long we had been
fighting when part of our range finder
was carried away. 1t was so hot.
though, and we were so hard at it that
such little thing like that did not
bother us. It is hot in any gun turret,
but have always noticed that it is
hotter there in 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 stuff.
But the range finder was carried
away, and although it looked bad for
us / was feeling so good that / vol
unteered to go on deck and get an
other one. | got outside the turret
door and across the deck, got the nee
essary parts and was coming back
with them when / received two ma
chine-gun bullets in the right thigh.
One went clear through bone and all
and drilled q 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 1 got at Dixmude. The line
is almost as straight as you could
draw it with ruler.
OF course it knocked me down and
hit my head pretty hard crack on
the steel deck, but was able to crawl
on to the turret door. Just as l was
about to enter the gun was fred. That
particular charge happened to be de-
fective. The shell split and caused
back fire and the cordite. fire and gas
came through the breech, which the
explosion had opened.
1t must have been piece of cordite
which did it, but whatever it was, it
hit me in the right eye and blinded it.
The ball of the eye was saved by the
French surgeons and looks normal, but
it pains me greatly sometimes and
they tell me it will always be sight
less.

the blow and from the quantity of gas

the medal for-though it was for one
of two things-and I do not know to
this day. But I thought it would not
be polite to ask, so I let it go at that.
There were twelve other naval Off
GERS who were present and they and
all the other people did lot Of cheer
ing and vived me to fare-you-well.
1t was great stuff, altogether, and /
should have liked to get medal every
day.
One day received letter from
man who had been in my company in
the Foreign Legion and with whom |
had been pretty chummy. His letter
was partly in French and partly in
English. 1t was all about who had
been killed and who had been wound
ed. He also mentioned Murray's
