1t. All the rest Of the fieet-battle4
ships and ransports-weighed anchor
at once and steamed ahead at full
speed.
1t was a great sight. Any new ship
coming up would have thought the
British and French navies had gone
crazy. We did not have any fixed
course, but were steaming as fast as
we could in circles and half circles,
apd dashing madly from port to star
board. We were not going to allow
that sub to get straight shot at US,
but we almost rammed ourselves
doing 1t. It was a case Of chase-tail
for every ship in the feet.
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 81. M. S. Can
opus, which has made such q fine
record in this war.
Then the Canopus pulled In close to
the Albion, got wire hawser aboard,
and attempted to tow her out under
a heavy fire, but as soon 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 a
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 Canopus got another hawser
aboard and, with guns going and the
crew jumping and the Canopus pulling,
the old Albion finally slid off 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 periscope-tins, barrels, spars.
Dead horses generally float in the
water with one foot sticking up, and
we gave the alarm many a time when
it was only some old nag on his way to
DaVy's locker.
On the Cassard the Old Man posted
a reward of so francs for the first man
who sighted perlscOpe. This was a
good idea, but believe me he would
have had trouble making the award,
for every man on the ship would be
sure to see it 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.

Our boys were on the job, too. We

did there In the Dardanelles.

CHAPTER XIII.
Five DAYS In An EmDtY House.

The five days l spent in that house
seemed to me like FIVE years. Dur
ing all that time / had very little to
eat-less, in fact, than 1 had been
getting in the fields. 1 did not feel
it so badly. perhaps, because OF the
fact that 1 was no longer exposed
to the other privations which before
had combined to make my condition
so wretched. 1 now had good
place to sleep, at any rate, and I did
not awake every half hour or so as /
had been accustomed to do in the
fields and woods and, of course my
hunger was not aggravated by the
physical exertions which had been
necessary before.
Nevertheless, perhaps because 1
had more time now to think of the
hunger pains which were gnawing at
me all the time, I don't believe 1 was
ever SO miserable as was at that
period of my adventure. / felt SO
mean towards the world would
have committed murder, 1 think,
with very little prcvocation.
German soldiers were passing the
house at all hours of the day. I
watched them hour after hour from
the keyhole of the door-to have
shown myself MT the window was out
of the question because the house in
which / was concealed was supposed
to be untenanted.

meters I ran into one-and went
through it.
Coming out above, the SUN shone
brightly again, but 1 was sailing
over a sea of clouds and therefore
could see no landmarks. So 1 pre-
pared as best 1 could to keep from
getting lost by by flying for five
minutes with the sun over my left
shoulder and then turning right
about, fly in the opposite direction.
In this way would stay over the
camp all the time, as the mechanics
fully expected to see me come sail
ing down with a "deadstick" (pro-
pellor stopped) any moment.
Climbing and Climbing
All these preparations to prevent
getting lost were unnecessary,
though, for 1 soon flew over a hole
in the cloud masses and saw the
camp far. far below. With my watch
open in my lap / kept on climbing
up and up to see how far / could get
before the. forty-five minutes were
up. And then it started to get cold
and the higher l went the colder it
got, and naturally, my fingers suf-
fered-they always do, for that is

but stopped counting at $500 me-
ters. Still 1 kept going up, always
with critical ear for any foreign
noise in the steady roar of my motor,
nursing it along as I got higher and
higher. Yet with all this I had
plenty of time to enjoy the rainbow
effects the sun made on the clouds
and far away in the distance see big
planes in one group flying toward
the lines. 1t was getting colder and

putting them under my arms, and
even tried to sit on them; but the
latter was impossible, since I was
not in as favorable a position as
the girl whose bashful friend told
her God loved her and she could sit
on her hands, as 1 was strapped
tightly to my seat.
Close Tabs on His Nibs
Even the numerous instruments

"OutWitting the Hum
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien

Because of the fact that was un-
house to see what / could pick up in
the way of food. BY that time, of
course, the stores were closed, but 1
secured the streets, the alleys and
the byways for scraps of food and
occasionally got up courage enough
to appeal to Belgian peasants, whom

l managed to keep body and soul to-

the door I spent most of my days on
the top floor in a room which looked
out on the street. BY keeping well
away from the window I could see
much of what was going on without
being seen myself.
In my restIessness I used to walk
back and forth IN that room and 1
had kept it up so constantly that
l believe 1 must have worn a path
in the floor. 1t was nine steps from
one wall to the ether, and as I had
little else to amuse me 1 figured out
one day after 1 had been pacing up
and down for several hours just how
much distance 1 would have covered
on my way to Holland If my foot
steps had been taking me in that
direction instead OF just up and down
that old room.
l was very much surprised to find
that in three hours 1 crossed the
room no less than 5000 times and
the distance covered was between
nine and ten miles. 1t was not very
gratifying to realize that after walk
ing all that distance / wasn't step
nearer my goat than when 1 started,
but l had to do something while

dives apd SIS.
Getting down to 5000 meters
again my hands began to pain me
terribly, and then L knew 1 had
frozen all the fingers. Luck seems
to be against me still, for on landing
hit some glass and punctured both
tires. Strange thing about high alti-
tudes is that If one comes down too
last he gets a headache, and even
when coming down at a normal
angle one has to keep swallowing TO
keep his ears from closing up.
Right now my one ear is COM
pletely stopped up and has been for
TWO days, and no amount of swal-
lowing or blowing my nose will open
1t. This is quite q casual occurrence
when one does not fly every day,
and it's very irritating and annoying.
Daring Boches
TWO daring Boches flew over our
camp to-day, and l was surprised
that no one was sent up after them.
Everybody craned their necks,
watching the shrapnel break around
them, which fell far short at that,
which may have been the reason no
one tried to chase them, because
they were very high and it would
have taken quite a while to reach
them. 1 presume they were taking
photographs. Whatever their mis-
sion, they paid no more attention to
the shrapnel than if it we're flies,
going stolidly about their business
and, having finished, turned about
and flew home.
