IN the nfeboat IN which was. es-
capped without a scratch.
We were mustered up on shore and
volunteers were called for, for sentry
duty. Murray volunteered. If he had
only gone on with the rest Of US he
might have come through. After a
short wait we were given the order to
advance. The firing became heavier
about this time, so we went at the
double. We had not got very far be-
fore we had fine little surprise party
handed US.
The front line was running over
what appeared to be good, solid
ground, when they broke through and
fell into trenches 80 to 40 feet deep.
These trenches had been dug, covered
over with A-inch boards and then
with dirt, and'were regular man-traps.
Sharp stakes were sticking out Of the
parapet and parados. and at the bot
tom were more stakes and rocks and
barbed wire.
We were advancing with bayonets
fixed and arms at the carry, so when
the first line fell, and some Of the
second, the boys of the third line came
running up, and In the scramble that
followed many Of the chaps in the
first few lines were bayoneted by their
comrades. I was in the third line, but
was lucky enough to pull up In time
and did not fall in. You could not look
down into that trench after you had
seen it once, it was too sickening.
Our casualties were sent back to the
ship. One boat was sunk by shell
and all the men lost.
! We remained where we were,
scratching out shallow trenches for
ourselves, finding what natural cover
there was and otherwise getting ready
for the night, which was near. It
began to rain and we could hardly
keep any fires going, because we had
to shelter them from the shore side, so
the enemy could not spot US, and the
wind was from the sea. It was certain
ly miserable that night.
Every once in a while we would
stand by to repel an attack, whether it
was real one or not, and we were
under fire all the time. It seemed as
If morning would never come. The
sand was full Of fleas-great big boys
and they were as bad as any
coolies l had ever had at Dixmude.
The morning came at last, and
was detailed with a fatigue party
to the beach where we had landed
stores. When we got down to the
docks I missed Murray and asked
where he was. They said he had been
missing from his post not more than
an hour from the time we left.
I left my fatigue party, without
orders, and Joined in the hunt for
Murray. There were men searching
all along the docks and on the shore
to each side. Finally I saw bunch
Of men collect around a storehouse
at the farther end of the docks on the
shore side. ran up to them.
There was poor old Murray. They
were just taking him down. He had
been crucified against the wan Of the

storehouse. There was bayonet
through each arm, one through each
foot and one through his stomach.

had to pull one of the bayonets out.

do not know just what did after
this. But it changed me all around
and was not like my usual self dur
ing the rest of the time.
It was still raining when we started
on our way to the front line. Along
the road were numbers of troops
scoffing and among them Indian troops
on sentry duty. They looked like a
bunch Of frozen turnips, cool and un-
comfortable. We were close enough to
make the roar of the cannonading
seem intolerably loud and could see
the bursting shells, particularly those
from the British ships.
Then we came across some Turkish
prisoners who were sheltering in an
old barn, I guess it was, and we
stopped for shelter and rest. They
told US that their troops were very
tired from long fighting, but that they
had plenty of men. They said a couple
Of shells had dropped about a hun
dred yards from the barn just before
we came, so we knew the batteries
were trying to get our range and we
did not stay any longer, but went
away from there and on our road.
About 500 yards farther on we came
to ruins, and when we went inside
we found 30 or 60 of our boys cooking
and sleeping and not giving a thought
to the shells or shrapncl. The mules
outside were banging away at the hay
as though there never had been q wal
in the world. There was no shell made
that could bulge them away from
that hay unless it hit them.
Then along came a cart making 8

had half Of his face shot away and
was all bandaged up, but he was try

as the rest were doing. They were

CHAPTER XII.
Action at the Dardanelles.


Imade twelve trips to the Darda-
nelles in all, the Cassard acting gen.
orally as convoy to troop ships, but
one trip was much like another, and
I cannot remember all the details, so
I will give only certain incidents of
the voyages that you might find inter-
esting. We never put into the Darda-
nelles without being under f1re-bu+
besides saying so what is there to
write about in that? It was interest
ing enough at the time, though, you
can take it from mel
Coming up to "V'' beach on our
third trip to the Dardanelles, the
weather was as nasty as any I have
ever seen. The rain was sweeping
along in sheets great big drops, and
driven by the wind in regular volleys.
You could see the wind coming, by the
line Of white against a swell where
the drops hit.
As we rounded the point, the seas
got choppier, and there were cross
currents bucking the ship from every
angle, it seemed. You could not see
two hundred yards away, the rain

. was on the starbOard bow at the
time and had turned to watch some
garbies poking at the scuppers to
drain the water off the deck. But the
scuppers had been plugged and they
were having a hard time of it. The
officer on the bridge, in oilskins, was
walking up and down, wiping off the
business end Of his telescope and try
ing to dodge the rain. All Of the gar
sbies but one left the scuppers on the
starbOard side and started across
decks to port. The other chap kept
on foOling around the scuppers. Then

Rled horribly. Some Of them that I
saw afterwards were just shredded
along the sides Of their bodies like
coconuts. A great many Of them,
though, were killed by shrapnel while
they were in the water.
On board the Cassard our guns had
been busy all the time, and it was not
long before we put one enemy bat
terry out of commission. We had sui.
iered q bit, too, but not enough to
worry us. There were about 5000 men

down below. It was awfully hot at the
Dardanelles and I guess the Turks
did not want it any hotter, for very
few of them ever surrendered, and the
trench cleaners had lot to do. Their
Job is really important, for it is danger
Gus to have groups of the enemy alive

prisoner we took was wounded.
The one thing do not like to have

boys feel the same way about It. It
Is not thing you like to talk about
or think about either. But this time,
at ~" beach, when we got past the
first and second Turk trenches and
were at work on the third, I do not
mind saying that I was glad whenever
I slipped my bayonet into Turk and
more glad when I saw another one
coming. I guess I saw red all right.

the one who did poor old Murray"

another one. .~-,. =. -. - !. = :

gone clear on through to CONSTANT
nople.
But the Turks were not as bad aa
Fritz. They were just as good or bet
ter as fighters, and a whole lot winter.
Often, when we were frying in the
trenches and not a drop of water was
to be had, something would land on
the ground near us and there would be
a water bottle, full. Sometimes they
almost bombarded US with bottles
Then, too. they would not fire on the
Red Cross, as the Germans do; they
would hold their fire many times when
we were out picking up our wounded
Several times they dragged our wound
ed as close as they could to the barbed
wire that we might find them easier
After Murray died I got to thinking
lot more than I used to, and though
I did not have any bunch exactly, still
I felt as though I might get it, too
which was something I had never
thought much about before. I used to
think about my grandmother, too
when I had time, and about Brown
I used to wonder what Brown was
doing and wish we were together. But
I could remember my grandmother
smiling, and that helped some. guess
I was lonely, to tell the truth. I did
not know the other garbies very we'll
and the only one left that was
really very friendly with got his soon
afterward, though not as bad as Muir
ray. And then there was no one that
I was really chummy with. That would
not have bothered me at all before
Murray died.
The other lad I spoke of as having
been chummy With was Philippe
Pierre. He was about eighteen and
came from Bordeaux. He was very
cheerful fellow and he and Murray
and used to be together a lot. Ht
felt almost as bad about Murray al
did, and you could see that Il
changed him great deal, too. But hi
was still cheerful most of the time
