was detailed with a fatigue party
to the beach where we had landed
stores. When we got down to the
docks l missed Murray and asked
where he was. They said he had been
missing from his post not more than
an hour from the time we left.
| left my fatigue party, without
orders, and joined In the hunt for
Murray. There were men searching
all along the docks and ON the shore
to each side. Finally saw bunch
of men collect around a storehouse
at the farther end of the docks on the
shore side. ran up to them.
There was poor old Murray. They
were just taking him down. He had
been crucified against the wall of the
storehouse. There was a bayonet
through each arm, one through each
foot and one through his stomach.
One of the garbies tainted when he
had to pull one of the bayonets out.
They had hacked off his right hand
at the wrist and taken his Identified
ton disc. I lay this to the German
officers more than the Turks.
/ do not know just what / did after
this. But it changed me all around
and 1 was not like my usual self dur
ing the rest OF the time.
1t was still raining when we started
on our way to the front line. Along
the road were numbers of troops

on sentry duty. They looked like a

the front was one long line of smoke
and spouting earth. Then our guns
started and the noise was deafening.
1t was worse than In the turrets
aboard ship during an engagement.
My head rang for days after we left
the Dardanelles.
The Turks We're getting a better idea
of our range now and the shells were
falling pretty close to US, but finally
we tore in with the 14-inch navals
and ripped up three of their batteries.
In the lull that followed We made good
time and reached our front line posi-
lions at Sedd-el-Bahr during the after
noon.
The next morning we made our first
attack. l had had a bad night of it,
thinking about Murray, and when the
time came there never was chap
more glad to charge and get chance
at the enemy with the bayonet than

We attacked according to a program.
Time cards were issued to the officer
OF each section, so that we would work
exactly with the barrage. To be ahead
| of, or behind the time card, would
mean walking into our own barrage.
The time of attack is called zero
| that is, the minute when you leave
the trench. Some Of the Anzacs said it
meant when your feet got the coolest,
but | do not think they suffered very
much with trouble in the feet-not
when they were advancing, anyway.
The time card might read something
like this: First wave, zero, advance,
rapid walk, barrage % in 10 seconds,
take first trench, 0:20; second wave,
same as the first, pass first trench,
0:23; take second trench, 0 80. The
third wave is ordered to take the third
trench, anG so on, for as many lines
as the enemy is entrenched. The other
waves might be instructed to occupy
Hill q, II :08, or dig in behind rock,
II 40. Here, zero is understood, the
first figures standing for minutes and
the Others for seconds. 1t might take
several hours to carry out the pro-
gram, but everything is laid out to
an exact schedule
l was in the sixth line of the third
wave of attack and zero was 4 :3C
a. N. Whistles were to be the signal
for zero and we were to walk to the
first line Turkish trench. AS we came
out our barrage fire would be burst
ing so yards ahead of us and would
lift % yards every 10 seconds. Oul
stunt was to take advantage of il
without walking into it.

was lucky enough to pull up in time
and did not fall in. You could not look
down into that trench after you had
seen it once, it was too sickening.
Our casualties were sent back to the
ship, One boat was sunk by shell
and all the men lost.
We remained where we were,
scratching out shallow trenches for
ourselves, finding what natural cover
there was and otherwise getting ready
for the night, which was near. Ii
began to rain and we could hardly
keep any fires going, because we had
TO shelter them from the Shore side, SO
the enemy could not spot US, and the
wind was from the sea. 1t was certain
" miserable that night.

was a real one or not. and we were

CHAPTER XII.
A Pal crueihed.

When we got TO "" Beach on my
asxt trip the weather was really fine,
but Il did not please us much. for as
soon as we got in range the enemy
batteries opened up on rs and the
shell fire was heavier than any we
eaa been in before, though not more
effective. We drew in on a bright
morning, about half past five or six.

running back into the country and
terminating in a road. The Cham
payne was making for this dock,
sounding as she went. Suddenly, when
she was within 500 yards of the shore.
I saw her swing around and steer IN
n crazy fashion. We began asking
each other what was the matter with
3eF, but we learned afterwards that
aer rudder had been torn of. though
Ne never found ont how, nor do think
anyone ever knew.

Then she went aground, with her
stern toward the shore and listed over
to port. You could see different arti-
cies rolling out and down the side.
Then her back broke. The quarter
deck was crowded with men half
dressed, with life belts on, jumping
over the side or climbing down. There
was an explosion and cloud of black
smoke broke over u.s. and for a while
l thought l was blinded.
ALI the time the shells were raining
In on us and on the Champagne.
When could see again saw the men
on the Champagne climbing down the
starboard or shore side. One chap was
going down hand over hand along a
stanchion, when another fellow above
him let go and slid right down on him.
The first man fell about thirty feet
landing in the water with his neck
doubled under him. Our lifeboats and
launches were out picking up sur
vivorS.
Those who got safely over the side
started to swim ashore, but when they
had gone only little way they found
they could wade in. When the water
was only up to their waists they came
upon barbed wire entanglements and
not man got ashore that way but
was scratched and clawed and man.
gled horribly. Some of them that /
saw afterwards were just shredded
along the sides of their bodies like
coconuts. A great many of them,
though, were killed by shrapnel while
they were in the water.
On board the Cassard our guns had
been busy all the time, and it was not
long before we put one enemy bat
terry out of commission. We had suf-
fered bit, too, but not enough to
! worry US. There were about 1900 men
on the Champagne, l think, and at
least a third were killed or drowned,
and the casualties must have been
almost two-thirds. The ship was just
a mass OF wreckage.
They called for landing party from
the Cassard, and officers asked for
volunteers for trench duty. WIS not
very keen about going, because had
been In trenches at Dixmude. and I
knew how pleasant they were-not,
but 1 volunteered, and so did Murray.
We went ashore In our boats under
heavy fire. There were II men killed
| in the lifeboat in which l was. i es-
capped without a scratch
| We were mustered up on shore and
volunteers were called for, for sentry
duty. Murray volunteered. If he had
only gone on with the rest of us he
might have come through. After
short wait we were given the order to
advance. The firing became heavier
about this time, so we went at the
double. We had not got very far be-
| fore we had fine little surprise party
! handed us.
/ The front line was running over
what appeared tG be good, solid
ground, when they broke through and
| fell into trenches 80 to 40 feet deem.
These trenches had been dug, covered
over with Il Inch boards and then
with dirt, and were regular man-traps.
Sharp stakes were sticking out of the
parapet and parados, and at the bot
tom were more stakes and rocks and
/ barbed wire.
We were advancing with bayonets
! fixed and arms at the carry, so when
the first line fell, and some of the
second, the boys of the third line came
running up, and in the scramble that
followed many of the chaps in the
first few lines were bayOneted by their
comrades. l was in the third line, but

Other folks faults may be only up

more of self-aecusation than just
criticism. To be competent to judge
you must be all you think the ether

you demand In him. Unless you are

Gold In Road Stone.

A road was being laid in Tasmania
with stone from around the New Col
den Mara property near Warratinna,
when it was discovered that this stone
was carrying about five pennyweight
of gold. Needless to say, another and
less valuable supply of road metal
was promptly substituted. The tail
ings of the gold mines OH the Rand.
South Africa. have of late years proved
wellnigh as valuable as the virgin rock
of the reef. A new treatment was dis
covered and when applied to these
tailings, which encumbered the land
scape for miles around, it was found
that the amount of gold left ~ them
was prodigious..

Harry S. Stabler in Everybody's,

fly for you:
Thirty per cent of the business OF
the wholesale grocers of the entire
country is in canned goods. In the

business.
"The fact is that, If you were to
take the tin cans out of any city of
