Careful estimates have been made
by the township officers OF Benson
county Of the damage done BY goph-

innate OF the loss caused BY the
ROphers a year before the campaign
was begun I'm 1915 in that county. In
1917 systematic gopher killing

As thereswas nothing for rs TO tie
up to wa merely dropped anchor
there while the DaffodiI kept us
against the mole with her nose
against the opposite side Of our ship
In the fairly heavy seas two Of our
three gangways were smashed. but
the third held and 500 men sWarmed
up this onto the mole. This gangway
was two feet wide and 80 feet long.
The wen who went up 10 included
500 marines and $50 storming sea-
men from the Eindictive and 30 Or 90
from the DaROdii. They HwaTmed up
tne steel gRngway carrying hand
grenades and Lewis guns. No Ger
mans succeeded I'm approaching the
ganEway, but a hard hand to hand
fight took place about 200 yards up
the mole toward the shore.
Ten Killed In Cabin
~Tha vindictivs'B bow was pointed
toward the shore 30 the bridge got
the fun effect Of enemy FIRE from the
ahovs batteries. One shell exploded
against the pilot house. killing near
ly all OF ats 10 occupants. Another
burst in the lighting top. killing q
lieutenant and eight men who were
doing excellent work with two POM
poms and four machine guns.
The battery OF II inch guns at the
end Of the mole was only 300 yards
away and Il kept trying to reach Us.
The shore batteries also were dill
gent. Only q few German shells hit
our hull because 1t was well pro-
teeted by the wall Of the mole, but
the upper structure, maAts. stacks
and vantfIators showed above the
wall and were riddled. A consider
able proportion Of our casualty was
caused by spIinterB from these up
per works.
Meanwhile, the Dafrodn continued
to push us against the wall as if no
battle was on, and IL the Dafrodn had
failed to do this. none of the mem
bers or the landing party would
have been able to return TO the ship.
twenty-five minutes after the
Vindictive had reached the wall the
first block ship passed in and head
ed for the canal. Two others fol-
lowed in leisurely fashion, while we
kept up the fight on the mole. One
OF the block ships stranded outside
Of the canal, but the two others got
two or three hundred yards inside,
where they were successfully sunk
across the entrance.
~One difficulty we had IN prepar-
ing this expedition was that we could
not have open practice OF what we
doing for fear the Ell
suly might get information OF the
plan. Our preparation, therefore,

Explosion Of Submarine
Fifteen minutes after the Vim
dictive arrived alongside the mole
our submarine exploded under the
the mainland. The Germans had
sent q considerable force to this
viaduct IS soon as the submarine ar-
rived and these men were gathered
on the viaduct attacking our aubmer-
Bfbie with machine guns. When the
explosion occurred the viaduct and
Germans were blown up together.
The crew OF the submarine. consist
ing of six men, escaped on board a
dingy 70 a motor launch.
Early in the fighting q German
shell knocked out our howitzer,
which had been getting In some good
shots on a big German seaplane stat
ion on the mole half q mile away.
This is the largest seaplane station
in Belgium. Unfortunately, our 9TH
er guns could not be brought to bear
effectively upon IL.
THE shell which disabled the
howitzer killed all the members Of
the gun crew. Many men also were
killed by q German she'll which hit
the mole close to our ship and scat
tered fragments OF steel and stone
among the marines assembling on
the deck around the gangWay.
