CHAPTER XIV--continued


 When l looked around I saw that our real position was to the right of where the artillery was, and that there were three lines of trenches with French infantry in them. So tbe trenches l had come from were more like outposts than anything else, and were cut off. I felt pretty sure, then. that the boys in them would never come back alive, because as soon as their fire let up the Turks would ad- vance, and to keep them back our guns would have to wipe out our men. and 1T they did not, the Turks would. At first l was glad I had come out, but then l remembered what the artillery officer had said and I figured I would have to go back and stay with them or bring them back. Either way there was not one chance in a hundred that any of us would make it. Because when l got through it was really just miracle and nobody would have thought it could happen.
 Then the officer told me to go back to the beach, where our naval guns were, and that was detailed to them. Maybe you do not think I was glad? But there was rough work still ahead Of me, because when I got behind the third line l saw wide open field that was light gray from the shell smoke hanging over it, and I could see the flashes where the big ones were doing their work, and I had to go through that field.
 fell time and again, sometimes when I thought a shell was near, and sometimes when I had no reason for ft-only l was thirsty again, and was shivering all the time, and was so weak I could not have choked a gold fish. 1 do not remember hardly any thing about going through that field, and you might say the next thing 1 knew was when I was overtaken by a dispatch runner, and got in a tin tub at the side of a motorcycle and was taken to the guns.
 I felt ready for a Rip Van Wrinkle udp llleu, Dul IuG OluCcI III COlHii4dLid would not let me. He said they were short of gunners-the terrific shelling had killed off dozens of them-and as he knew l could point gun he had ordered them over the telephone to get me to the beach as fast as possi- ble. He spotted the two warehouses 1 have spoken of for me and said it was up to us to put them out of com The gun was 14-inch naval, and that looked good to me, so I bucked up lot. The warehouses were about 10 or II miles away, I should judge, and about 30 or 40 yards apart.
 felt very weak, as I have said, and shivered every once in a while, so I did not think I could do much gunning worth whistling at. But they loaded the old 14-inch and made ready, and we got the range and all was set. The officer told me to let her ride. So I said to myself, "This is one for you, Murray, old boy. Let's go from here."
 So I sent that one along and she anded direct and the warehouse went

CHAPTER XIV.
Je Sujs BIesse.

As usual, when we got to Brest there was rush work day and night on the Cassard to get her out and supplies of all kinds were loaded for our next visit to the Turks. The French gar bies were always keen for the trip back to Brest-they were sure of load ing up on tobacco and other things they needed.
 My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles was different from the others. The Cassard was doing patrol work at the time in the neighborhood of Cape Helles. Those of us who had served on the Peninsula before were thank ing our stars for the snap we were having-just cruising around waiting for something to happen.
 We had not been there very long be- fore something unexpected did happen, for we ran into two enemy cruisers which I afterwards heard were the Werft and Kaiserliche Marine-one on the starboard and one on the port How they had managed to sneak up so near us 1 do not know. They opened up on us at not much more than thousand yards and gave us a hot time from the start, though with any kind of gunnery they should have done for us thoroughly.
 We came right back at them and were getting in some pretty good shots. I was in the 14-inch gun turret, star board bow-my old hangout-and we were letting them have it about four shots every five minutes and scoring heavily.
 I do not know how long we had been fighting when part of our range finder was carried away. It was so hot, though, and we were so hard at it that such a little thing like that did not bother us. It is hot in any gun turret, but I have always noticed that it is hotter there in the Dardanelles than in any other place. The sweat would simply cake up on us, until our faces were just covered with a film of pow dery stuff.
 But the range finder was carried away, and although it locked bad for us I was feeling so good that I vol unteered to go on deck and get an

do not believe I came to, singing, be- cause never sang Sweet Adeline" before, that I know of, or any other song when anybody was in range. But I heard it lots of times, so maybe I did sing it at that.
 Then I went to sleep feeling fine. The next morning the detachment from the Cassard was withdrawn, and I saw some of the men who had been in the two trenches, but I was not near enough to speak to them. So do not know how they got out.
 You never saw happier bunch in your life than we were when we piled into the lifeboats and started for the Cassard. The old ship looked pretty good to us, you can bet, and we said if we never put our hoofs on that place again it would be soon enough.
 We were shelled on our way out to the Cassard, and one boat was over- turned, but the men were rescued. Two men in the launch I was in were wounded. But we did not pay any attention to that shelling-the Turks might just as well have been blowing peas at us through a soda straw for all we cared.
 I noticed that when we came near the Cassard the other boats held up and let our launch get into the lead, and that we circled around the Cas- sard's bows and came up on the star board side, which was unusual. But l did not think anything of it until came over the side. There were the side boys lined up, and the Old Man was there, with the ships steward beside him.
 He took the log book from the stew ard and showed it to me, and there was my name on it. Now when you are punished for anything you are logged, but I could not figure out what was very much surprised. But the Old Man slapped me on the back and everybody cheered, and then I saw it was not punishment, but just the op- posite.
 When people ask me what have ANNSANNd lily uSIold lN1lOIA Guerre), I tell them I do not rightly know. and that is a fact. I do not know whether it was for going back from those trenches or for destroying the storehouses. So I always tell them got it for working overtime. That is what the Limeys say, or if they have the Victoria cross they say they got it for being very careless. Ask one of them and see.
 All of us were certainly glad to be aboard the Cassard again, and if any place ever looked like home to me it was the old ship. Our casualties were very high and we were therefore or dered to put back to Brest. We had great little celebration that night, and next morning weighed anchor and started back, after clearing for action.
 I was still pretty blue about Mur- ray, but very much relieved as to the safety of my own skin, and I figured that after the Dardanelles and my last day there they had not made the right bullet for me yet. The rest of us felt about the same way and we were sing ing all the time.

A'cALIFoRNIA SYRUP OF FIGS" CAN'T HARM CHILDREN AND
 THEY LOVE fT.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign the little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhea remember, a gen. tie liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, deli cious fruit laxative" and it never fails to effect a good ''inside" cleans ing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
 Keep it handy in your home. A little given today saves sick child tomor- row, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a bottle of California Syrup of Figs" then see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company.

up in fire and smoke. I felt good then, and laid the wires on the other ware house and let her go. But she was too high and made clean miss. Then I was mad, because I had sent that one over for myself. So got the cross wires on the warehouse again and, I said to myself, 'This is not for any body, just for, luck, because I sure have had plenty of it today"
 Then the juice came through the wires and into the charge, and away she went, and up went the second warehouse. That made two directs out of three, and I guess it hurt the Turks some to lose all their ammunition. The officer kissed me before I could duck and slapped me on the back and I keeled over. I was just all in.
 They brought me to with rum, and they said was singing when I came to-. When they tried to sing, to show me what song it was, figured it was Sweet Adehne" they meant. But I

I got outside the turret door and across the deck, got the nec- essary parts and was coming back with them when I received two ma chine-gun bullets in the right thigh One went clear through bone and all and drilled a hole on the other side, of going through.
