tanks and ground into the earth.
Prisoners estimate at least two, and
probably three German companies
were wiped out ma few minutes.
The machines returned in such hor-

One German prisoner had rough
experience with the small tanks and
lived to tell the story, although he
was much shaken as a result of hts

his unit and was hiding in a shell hole

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
That Of Robinson crusoe Appear
Mere Incident

1t would appear that Alexander Sell
kinks brief stay ON Juan Fernandez
island was trivial. either In the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that of a woman
on an island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
1t seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were nee transport
ing the natives of the island of st.
Nicholas to the mainland. Among
them was a mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put back, but the captain refused.
She then leaped into the sea 10 swim
ashore, but as a storm prevailed. all
on board thought she was drowned.
Eighteen years afterward a company
landed on the island. They found
traces Of life, and after a long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe. but had managed to
live In comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life In the
open, she could not endure the conf1ne-
ment of a house, and soon sickened
and died.

that night the conversation had turned
TO the Contemplate" English. and the
captain had made a wager that he
would hang his cap on the English
barbed wire to show bis contempt for
the English sentries. The wager was
accepted. At eight o'clock the captain
and he had crept out into No Mans
Land to carry out this wager.
They had gotten about halfway
across when the drink took effect and
the captain fell asleep. After about
two hours Of vain attempts the unter-
offizier had at last succeeded in wax
Ing the captain, reminded him of his
bet, and warned him that he would be
the laughing stock of the officers mess
the captain was trembling all over and
Insisted on returning to the German
lines. In the darkness they lost their
bearings and crawled toward the Eng
fish trenches. They reached the barbed
wire and were suddenly challenged by
u sentry. Being too drunk 10 realize
that the challenge was in English, the
captain refused TO crawl back. Finally
the unteroffizier convinced his superior
that they were In front of the English
wire. Realizing this too late, the cap
tain drew his revolver and with a NUT
tered curse fred blindly toward our
trench. His bullet no doubt killed our
captain.
Then the bomb came over and there
he was, dying-and a good job too, we
thought. The captain dead? Well, his
men wouldn't weep at the news.
Without giving us any further lnfor-
nation the u~nterotfizier died.
We searched the bodies for identifi-
cation disks but they had left every
thing behind before starting on their
foOlhardy errand.
Next afternoon we buried them In
our little cemetery apart from the
graves of the Tommies. IL you ever
