CHAPTER XIV.
Picks and Shovels.

had not slept long before the sweet !
rorre or .he sergeant Informed that
"No. ! section had clicked for another
blinking digging party" | smiled to
myself with deep satisfaction. | had
been promoted from mere digger to
member OF the Suicide club. and was
exempt from all fHtIgucs. Then came
an awful shock. The sergcan, looked
over In my direction and said:
Don't you bomb throwers think you
are wearing top hats out here. Cord
in to orders you've been taken up on
the strength Of this section. and VIII
have to do your bit with the pick and
shovel, same as the rest of u.s."
put up howl on my way 10 get
my shovel. but the only thing that re-
sulsed was loss of good humor on
my part.
We fell in at eight o'clock, outside
of our billets, sort of masquerade
party. l was disguised ms a common
laborer. had pick and shovel. and
about one hundred empty sandbags.
The rest, about two hundred In all.
were equipped likewise: picks. shovels,
sandbags, rifles and ammunition.
The party moved out in column of
fours, taking the road leading to the
trenches. Several times we had to
string out in the ditch TO let long COL
umns OF limbers. artillery and supplies
get past.
The marching. under these condi-
tions. was necessarily slow. Upon ar
rival at the entrance to the communi-
cation trench. l looked at my illumi-
mated wrist watch-it was eleven
o'clock.
Before entering this trench, word
was passed down the line, mo talking
or smoking, lead of In single file, COW
ering party first"
This covering party consisted OF 30
men, armed with rifles, bayonets,
bombs, and two Lewis machine guns.
They were to protect US and guard
against n surprise attack while dig
ging in No Mans Land.
The communication trench was
about half mile long, zigzagging
ditch. eight feet deep and three feet
wide.
Now and again German shrapnel
would whistle overhead and burst in
our vicinity. We would crouch against
the earthen walls while the shell frng-
ments slapped" the ground above us.
Once Fritz turned loose with ma
chine gun. the bullets from which
cracked through the air and kicked
up the dirt on the top. scattering sand
and pebbles, which. hitting our steel
helmets, sounded like hailstones.
Upon arrival In the fire trench an
,fiicer Of the Royal Engineers gave us
lur instructions and acted as guide: ;.

there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
In two) half full of water. Each tub
contained a piece Of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that We had just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaping ourselves all over. we
took turns in rubbing each others
backs, then by means of a garden hose,
washed the soap of. The water was
Ice cold. but felt fine.
Pretty soon a bell rang and the wa
ter was turned Off. Some of the slower
ones We're covered with soap. but this
made no difference to the sergeant,
who chased us into another room,
where we lined up in front of little
window, resembling the box office In a
theater. and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
the room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes were allowed In which to
get into our 'clabber."
My pair of drawers came up to my
chin and the shirt barely reached my
diaphragm, but they were clean-no
strangers on them, 30 I was satisfied.
At the expiration Of the time allot-
ted we were turned out and finished
our dressing on the Hasa

and other fatigues, and then back into
the front-line trench.
Nothing happened that night. but the
next afternoon / found out that u
bomber is general utility man In a Sec
ton.
About five O'Clock in the afternoon
our lieutenant came down the trench
and stopping in front OF bunch OF US
his face. asked:
"Who is going to volunteer for listen
ing post tonight need two men"
II IS needless TO say no one volun-
teered, because 1t is anything but n
cushy job. ] began to feel uncomfOrt-
able as i knew II was getting around
for my turn. Sure enough. with another
grin. he said:
"Empey, you and Wheeler are due,
so come down into my dugout for in
structions at six o'clock"
Just as he left and was going around
a traverse, Fritz turned loose with a
machine gun and the bullets ripped the
sandbags right over his head. 1t gave
me great pleasure to see him duck
against the parapet. He was getting
taste of what we would get later out
in front.
Then, of course, II began to rain. /
knew II was the forerunner of u mis-
erable night for us. Every time had
to go out in front, 1t just naturally
rained. Old Jupiter Pluvius must have
had It in for me.
