ships and transports-weighed anchor
at once and steamed ahead at full
speed.
It vas a great sight. ANY e ship
coming up would have thought the
British and French navies had gone
crazy. We did not have any fixed
course, but were steamins rs fast as
we could In circles and half circles,
and dashing madly from port to star
board. We were not going to allow
that sub to get a straight shot at US,
but we almost rammed ourselves
doing it. It was a case Of chase-tail
for every ship in the fleet.
But the sub did not show itself
again that day, and we anchored
again. That night, while the Destroy
ers were around the ships, we slipped
our cables and patrolled the coast
along the Australian position at Gaba
Tepe, but we did not anchor.
The following day the Albion went
ashore in the fog, south Of Gaba Tepe,
and as soon as the fog lifted the Turks
let loose and gave 1t to her hot. A
Turkish ship came up and. with any
kind Of gunnery, could have raked her
fore and aft, but the Turks must
have been pretty shy Of gun sense.
for they only got In one hit before
they were driven off by II. NJ. s. Cam
opus, which has made such a fine
record in this war.
Then the Campus pulled In close to
the Albion, got a wire hawser aboard,
and attempted to tow her out under
a heavy fire, but as soc as she started
pulling, the cable snapped. The crew
Of the Albion were ordered aft and
jumped up on the quarter. deck to
try and shift the bow OFF the bank.
At the same time the fore turret and
the fore six-inch guns opened up q
hot fire on the Turkish positions to
lighter the ship and shift her by the
conclusions of the guns. For a long
time they could not bulge her. Then
the Campus got another hawser
aboard and, with guns going and the
crew jumping and the Campus pulling,
the old Albion finally slid of and both
ships backed into deep water with
little harm done to either. Then they
returned to their old ~anchorages.
At Cape Helles every one was wide
awake. We were all on the lookout
for subs and you could not find one
man mapping. Anything at all passed
for a periscope-tins, barrels, spars.
Dead horses generally float In the
water with n foot sticking up, and
we gave the alarm many u time when
1t was only some old mag on his way to
Davy's locker.
On the Cassard the Old Man posted
a reward of so francs for the first maa
who sighted a p%eriscope. This was q
good idea, but believe me he would
have had trouble making the award,
for every q on the ship would be
sure to see II at the same time. Each
man felt sure he would be the man to
get the reward. The 14-pounders were
loaded and ready for action on a sec.
ond's notice. But the reward was
never claimed.
