which l had won at the Dardanelles.
The presentation was made by Lieu
tenant Barley. He pinned an Ameri-
can flag on my breast, a French flag
beneath it and beneath that the war
cross. He kissed me on both cheeks,
eff course, which was taking advantage
of a cripple. But ii is the usual thing
with the French, as you know-I mean
the kissing, not the to
cripples.
When he had pinned the medal on
he said he thanked me from the bot
tom of his heart for the French people,
and also thanked all the Americans
who had come over from their own
land to help a country with which
most of them were not connected. He
said it was a war In which many ma
tons were taking part, but in which
there were just two ideas, freedom
and despotiSm, and q lot more things
that 1 cannot remember. He finished
by saying that he wished he could dec
0rate all of us.
OF course ii was great stuff for me
and / thought l was the real thing
sure enough, but l could not help
thinking of the remark 1 have heard
here I'm the States-"T thank you and
the whole family thanks you" And it
was hard not to laugh. Also 1t seemed
funny to me. because l did not rightly
know just what they were giving me
the medal for-though it was for one
OF swo things-and l do not know to
this day. But / thought 1t would not
be polite TO ask. so l let 1t go at that.
There were twelve other naval ON.
GERS who were present and they and
all the other people did a lot of cheer
ing and vived me to a fare-you-well.
1t was great stuff, altogether, and l
should have liked to get a medal every
day.
One day / received a letter from a
man who had been in my company In
the Foreign Legion and with whom l
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
death. which he had heard about, and

gas did me a great deal Of damage
and gives me dizzy spells often to this
day. l do not know what happened
during the rest of the engagement. as
i did not regain consciousness until
three days later at sea. But l heard
in the hospital that the French super
dreadnaught Jeanne dare and the
light cruiser Normandy were in 1t as
well as ourselves, though not at the
time / was wounded. and that we had
all been pretty well battered. The
Cassard lost 90 men in the ngage
ment and had 4S wounded. Some of
our turrets were twisted into all man.
ner of shapes and part of our bow
was carried away. One of our lieu
tenants was killed in the engagement.
l was told that 10th the VERT and
the Kaiserliche Marine were sunk in
this engagement. l have seen pictures
OF sailors from the VERT who were
prisoners at interment camps.
When We arrived at Brest< the
wounded were taken from the ship in
s~tretchers and after we had been rest
ed for about fifteen minutes on the
dock put into ambulances and rushed
to the hospital. On the way those who
could leaned out of the ambulance and
had a great time with the people along
the streets, many of whom they knew,
for the Cassard was a Brest ship. And
of course the women and children
yelled, "Vive la France" and were
glad to see the boys again, even
though they were badly done up.
Some of our men were bandaged
all over the face and head and it was
funny when they had to tell their
names to old friends of theirs, who
did not recognize them. AS soon as
one OF the Brest people recognized a
friend OFF he would go to get cigarettes
and other things for him and some of
them almost beat us to the hospital.
/ do not know, of course, just what
the surgeons did TO me, but 1 heard
that they had my eyeball out on my
cheek for almost two hours. At any
rate. they saved it. The thigh wounds
were not dangerous in themselves and
If it had not been for the rough treat
ment they got later OF they would be
quite healed by this time, | am sure.
| really think / got a little extra at
tentiOn in the hospital in many ways,
for the French were at all times anx-
ious to show their friendliness to
America. Every time my meals were
served there was q little American
flag on the platter and always a large
American flag draped over the bed. l
had everything l wanted given to me
at once and when / was able to, all
the cigarettes l could smoke, which
were not many.
While I was still in bed in the hos
pital / received the Croix de Guerre,

i 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), l tell them j do not rightly
know. and that is a fact. / do not
know whether Ii was for going back
from those trenches or for destroying
the storehouses. So l always tell them
/ got it for working overtime. That
is what the Limeys say, or if they
have the Victoria cross they say they
got 1t for being very careless. Ask
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
a 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 l 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.

about my receiving the Croix de
Guerre. / was wishing he had said
something about Brown, whom / had
not heard from and who / knew would
visit me if he had the chance.
But two or three days later l got
another letter from the same man and
when l opened it put tumbled a photo
graph. At first all l saw was that it
was the photograph of a man crucified
with bayonets, but when / looked at
it closely l saw 1t was Brown. !
tainted then, just like a girl.
When / came to I could hardly make
myself think about it. Two of my
pals gone! 1t hurt me so much to
think of 1t that l crushed the letter
up in my hand, but later on / could
read parts ef it. 1t said they had
found Brown this way near Dixmude
about two days after he had been re-
ported missing. So three of us went
over and two stayed there. 1t seems
very strange to me that both of my
pals should be crucified and if / were
superstitiOus l do not know what l
would think about it. 1t made me
sick and kept me from recovering as
fast as | would have done otherwise.
Both Brown and Murray were good
pals and very good men in a fight.
l often think of them both and about
the things we did together, but lately
/ have tried not to think about them
much because it is very sad to think
what torture they must have had to
stand. They were both of great credit
to this country.
The American consul visited ME
quite often and | got to calling him
Sherlock because he asked so many
questions. We played lots of games
together, mostly with dice, and had a
great time generally. After / became
convalescent he argued with me that
| had seen enough, and though l really
did think so-however much / dlsliked
what / had seen-he got my discharge
from the service IN account of phys
zeal inability to discharge the usual
duties. After | had been at the hos
pital for a little over a month I was
discharged from it, after a little party
In my ward with everyone taking part

a while and also visited Lyons.

CHAPTER XIV.
Je suIs RIesse.

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 DardaneIles
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 l afterwards heard were the
VERT and KaIserliche Marlne-one on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed to sneak up
so near us l do not know. They
OpCntu uB Ou us at uOL 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 III thoroughly.
We came right back at them and
were getting in some pretty good shots.
l was in the 14-inch gun turret, star
board bow-my old hangout-and we
were letting them have il about foul
shots every five minutes and scoring
heavily.
/ do NOT know how long we had been
fighting when part of our range finder
though, and we were so hard at II that
such a little thing like that did not
bother US. 1t is hot In any gun turret,
but / have always noticed that Ii 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 a film of pow
derry stuff.
But the range finder was carried
away, and although 1t looked bad for
us | was feeling so good that l vol
unteered to go on deck and get an
other n l 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 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
is almost as straight as you could
draw IL with a ruler.
OF course il knocked me down and
| hit my head a 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 grn was fired. That
particular charge happened to be de-
fective. The shell split and caused a
back fire and the cordite, fire and gas
came through the breech, which the
explosion had opened.
1t must have been a piece of cordite
which did 1T, but whatever it was, it
hit me in the right eye and blinded II.
The ball of the eye was saved by the
French surgeons and looks normal, but
1t pains me greatly sometimes and
they tell me it will always be sight
less.
l was unconscious Immediately from
the blow and from the quantity of gas
which 1 must have swallowed. This

Then 1 went to sleep feeling fine.
The next morning the detachment
from the Cassard was withdrawn. and
/ saw some of the men who had been
in the two trenches, but 1 was not
near enough to speak to them. So |
do not know how they got out.
You never saw a happier bunch In
your life than we were when we piled
into the lifeboats and started for the
Cassard. The old ship looked pretty
good to us, you can bet, and we said
If we never put our hoofs on that place
again 1t would be soon enough.
We We're 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 sheiling-the Turks
might just as well have been blowing
peas at US through a 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 1
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 &c me, and there
was my name ON II. Nod when you
are punished for anything you are
