 I went over to the Royal Engineers place and proceeded to make myself at home. I was feeling happy, for l knew that this was my last day at the front, and I was hoping to be home Tor Christmas. Of course told everybody I met all about my good luck, and we were having a regular little farewell dinner, only we had tea instead of champagne After 1t was all over some of the boys went away, and proceed ed to make myself comfortable on a couch the fellows had built up in the corner.
 I had been there about fifteen min utes when for some reason or other l got up and went over and sat down by the brazier. I hadn't been off that couch three minutes when a shrapnel shell burst directly over the hut, and l should say fully twenty pieces came through tbe roof. They went through Ehe floor as If 1t had been so much pa- per, and about half dozen pieces pen otrated the couch had been lying on not five minutes before. There were three of us in the hut at the time, and not one of us was so much as scratched.
 The shells were coming over pretty thick then, SO we went for the dugouts on the dead run. AS passed the tree where our horses were tethered a high explosive shell burst in the middle of them and buttered them all over the landscape.

 1 said did and that 1t was right on our way back, so we walked about half mile until we came to the Tans- port camp, and there we got two other horses and proceeded to the place where we had left the car.
 Here the officer decided we would have some tea, so went into tent where there were some fellows l knew and begged some grub. l had just commenced to eat when shell scream ed over and went into the ground about twenty or thirty feet from the corner of the tent. It didn't explode, so we were all right, but decided that right here was where I quit, and went out and sat in the car until the officer was ready.
 But my troubles were not over yet. On the way back to camp one of the back wheels came off the car and near ly dumped us into the ditch. The off, cer got lift down in another car, and I set to work to try to put back the wheel. It was dark, and the road was muddy and soft, and everything seem- ed to go wrong. The train left at l o'clock in the morning, and l was nearly beside myself for fear l would miss 1t.
 When I finally did get in 1t was after II. and I had to do some tall hustling to get my things packed, get my grant and tickets and change my clothes for dry ones and walk half mile to the station to catch the train. l did It, though, and at o'clock in the after noon I was in London.

greatest little game of bluff on us. We were at village called Rheninghelst when this fellow came over, and ey- erybody remarked at how low he was flying. Our anti-alrcraft guns were let ting him have 1t from all directions, and suddenly his engine stopped and the machine began to fall. The guns let up. thinking that he was winged. He fell to within two or three hundred feet of the earth. when suddenly the machine righted itself and be skinned over us toward the German lines. He had the audacity to wave his hand at Us as he went by.
 It was one of the nerviest things ever saw. He saved himself by the chance of running through our fire. for when he was so low he was out of range of the anti-aircraft guns.
 Air raids do not always prove as dangerous as they sound. About three or four days before left the front we had Il flock of twenty-three German aeroplanes over our camp, and they dropped bombs for nearly fifteen min utes. Everybody got under cover, and the total loss of life caused by the raid was one mule. If this were always the case the Zeppelins and Avatiks would have tc go out of business.
 There was very little of interest after Loos. Every day it was the same old routIne-up to the firing line in the morning and back down again at night. Once in awhile we would let ourselves in for young bombardment or would have rather hot session in the trenches when we would happen to get there at the right time, but as far as any important happenings there was none.
 I will never forget the last day l spent at the front. It seemed to me that the Germans must have put up a job on me, and just at the moment l was sure that l was coming out of It all right and that the war was over for me they were trying to get me.
 l was ordered to report with my car to one of our new officers. l did so, and we left for the firing line. When we reached the divisional signal office we left the car and mounted our horses to finish the journey. We got to a place called Krustadt and stayed there about half an hour. hitched my horse to the gate of an old deserted house and went over to one of our ammunition columns to see If could get some hot tea. When l came back about fifteen minutes later found my poor horse down with his front leg gone. 4 shell had exploded in the yard of this house and had blown his leg clear of. There was nothing for me to do but to shoot him and put the poor beast out of his misery.
 I hunted around among the different units in the vicinity until found an other horse, and then 1 went up and reported to my officer. We visited some of our batteries and came back to Krustadt. The officer told me that he would not need me during the after noon, but to meet him at 5 o'clock that evening. We hitChed our horses to a tree, and the officer went of.
