reins and urged him to go. but Jim was
stubborn. Then the boy cracked his
whip and touched the animals TANKS
with it, and after a low moan of protest
Jim stepped slowly along the road.
Neither the boy nor the girl spoke
again for some minutes. There was a
breath of danger in the very air, and
every few moments the earth would
shake violently. Jims ears were stand
ing erect upon his head and every
muscle of his big body was tense as he
trotted toward home. He was not going
very fast, but on his TANKS specks OF
foam began to appear, and at times he
would tremble like leaf.
The sky had grown darker again and
the wind made queer sobbing sounds
as It swept over the valley.
Suddenly there was a rending, tearing
sound and the earth split into another
great crack just beneath the spot where
the horse was standing. With wild
neigh of terror the animal fell bodily
into the pit, drawing the buggy and its
occupants after him.
Dorothy grabbed fas, hold of the
buggy top and the boy did the same
The sudden rush into space confused
them so that they could not think.
Blackness ehgulfed them on every
side, and in GREATNESS silence they
waited for the fall to end and crush
them against jagged rocks or for the
earth to close in on them again and
bury them forever in its dreadful
depths.
The horrible sensation of falling, the
darkness and the terrifying noises,
proved more than Dorothy could endure.
and for few minutes the little girl lost
consciousness. Zeb, being boy. did
not faint, but he was badly frightened,

grip, expecting every moment would be
his last.

When Dorothy recovered her senses
they were still falling, but not so fast.
The top of the buggy caught the air
like a parachute or an umbrella filled
with wind, and held them back so that
they floated downward with a gentle
motion that was not so very disagree

AT this same meeting Capt Evans
handed the American commander an
other letter which was just as char
acteristic as that of Admiral Jellicoe

come down from his city, which is only
twelve miles from Queenstown, to re-
ceive the Americans, and now awaited
them in the American consulate; and
many other citizens We're assembled
there to welcome them. One of the
most conspicuous features of the pro-
cession was the moving picture oper-
ator, whose presence really had an in
ternational significance. The British
government itself had detailed him for
this duty; 1t regarded the landing OF
our destroyers as a great historical
event and therefore desired to preserve

THE VICTORY AT SEA ~

this animated record in the official
archives.
Crowds gathered along the street to
watch and cheer our officers as they
rode by; and at the consulate the lord
mayor, Mr.. Butterfield, made an elo-
quent address, laying particular en-
phasis upon the close friendship that
had always prevailed between the
American and the Irish people. Other
dignitaries made speeches voicing
similar sentiments; this welcome con-
cluded Commander Taussig and his
brother officers started up the steep
hill that leads to Admiralty House, a
fine and spacious old building. Here,
following out the instructions of the
Navy Department, they were to re-
port to Vice Admiral Bayly for duty.
1t is doing no injustice to Sir Lewis
to say that our men regarded this first
meeting with some misgiving. The adj
. miraPs reputation in the British navy
was well known to them. They knew
that he was one of the ablest officers
in the service; but they had also heard
that he was an extremely exacting man,
somewhat taciturn in his manner and
not inclined to be over familiar with
his subordinates-a man who did not
easily give his friendship or his respect,
and altogether, in the anxious minds Of
these ambitious young Americans, he
was somewhat forbidding figure. And
the appearance of the admiral, standing
in his doorway awaiting their arrival,
rather accentuated these preconcep-
tions. He was a mediums sized man,
with somewhat swarthy, weatherbeaten
face and black hair just turning gray;
he stood there gazing rather quizzically
at the Americans as they came trudging
up the hill, his hands behind his back,
his bright eyes keenly taking in every
detail of the men, his face not showing
the slightest trace of a smile.
This struck our young men at first as
a somewhat grim reception the attitude
of the admiral suggested that he was
slightly in doubt as to the value Of his
new recruits, that ne was entirely
willing to be convinced, but that only
deeds and not fine speeches of greeting
would convince him.
Yet Admiral Bayly welcomed our
men with the utmost seriousness and
dignity: his face. as he began shak-
ing hands. broke into quiet, nom
commttal smile; there was nothing
about his manner that was ELUSIVE,
there were no unnecessary words, yet
there was a real cordially that put
our men at ease and made them feel
at home in this strange environment.
They knew, of course, that they had
come to Ireland, not for social diver
sions, but for the serious business Of
fighting the Hun, and that indeed was
the only thought which could then
find place in Admiral Bayly's mind.
Up to this time the welcome had
taken the form Of lofty oratorical

flights, with emphasis upon the blood
ties Of Anglo-Saxodom and the sig
nificance to civilization of America
and Great Britain fighting side by
side; but this was not the kind Of
greeting our men received from Ad-
miral Bayly.
The admiral, himself, with his some
what worn uniform and his lack of
ceremony, formed marked contrast
to the official reception by the lord
mayor and his suite in their insignia
of office. Entirely characteristic also
was the fact that, instead of making
long speech, he made no speech at
all. His chief interest in the Ameri-
cans at that time was the assistance
which they were likely to bring to
the allied cause; after courteously
greeting the officers the first ques-
tion he asked about these forces was:
when will you be ready to go to
sea?"
Even under the most favorable con-
ditions that is an embarrassing ques-
ton to ask Of a destroyer commander.
There is no type of ship that is so

with the spirit indicated by this state
