Depew, author of the story, tells of Ills service in the UnittuFStates navy, during which he attained the rank of chief petty officer, first-class gunner. The world war starts soon after he receives his honorable discharge front the navy, and he leaves fsor France with a determination to enlist, lie joins the Foreign Legion and Is assigned to the dreadnaught Cassnrd, where his tnarkmanshlp wins him high honors. Later he is transferred to the land forces and sent to the Flanders front. Ile gets his first experience in a front line trench at DIsmude. Ile goes \over the top\ anti gets his first German in a bayonet fight. While on runner service, Depew is caught in a Zeppelin raid and has an exciting experience. In a fierce fight with the Ger- mans he is wounded and sent to a hospital. After recovering he Is ordered back to Sea duty and sails on the Cassard for the Dardanelles. There he sees the wonderful work of the British and French in the Gallipoli campaign. CHAPTER XI—Contlnued. —10— During our eighth trick off Cape Relies I was amidships in the galley when I heard our two 14 -pounders go off almost at the same thne. Every- body ran for his station. Going up the main deck to illy turret a man told me it was a sub on the port bow, but I only caught a glimpse of the little whirlpool where her periscope sub- merged. I do not know why she did not let loose a torpedo at us. The officers said she was trying to make the entrance to the Dardanelles and came up blind among our ships anti was scared off by our guns, but I thought we had just escaped by the skin of our teeth. Later on our de- stroyers claimed to have sighted her off Gabe Tepe. At noon we were at mess when one of the boys yelled, \She's hit,\ and Ave all rushed on deck. There was the British ship, Triumph, torpedoed anti listing away over to starboard. She was ready to turn over In a few min- utes. One battleship is not supposed to go to the assistance of another one that has been torpedoed, because the chances are the sub is still in the Neighborhood laying for the second ship with another torpedo. But one of the British trawlers went to the assistance of the Triumph to pick up the crew. We could see the crew jumping into One water. Then we breezed out toward the horizon, full speed ahead. All about the Triumph was a cloud of black smoke, but when we looked through the glass we could see she was going down. Then our guns began to bombard the Turkish positions and I had to get busy. When I saw the ph again she was bottom up. must have floated upside down almost half an hour, then she went as though there was somebody the bottom pulling her. When she went our Old Man banged telephone on the bridge rail and were at the Buns and Turks and Oroke his telescope lens to bits. About hf4 from the Triumph were lost. It was decided that the place was too hot for us with that sub running loose, and when they reported that afternoon that she was making her way south from Gabs Tepe to Cape Belles all of the fleet but the Majestic got under way, and the Majestic was the only shipeleft off the cape. They said the Majestic was then the oldest of the ships in that campaign, but she was the pride of the British fleet just the same. She was torpedoed off Cape Belles later on, when there were A number of men-of-war off the tape. The sea was crowded with men swimming and drowning. I saw a life- boat crowded with men and other men In the water hanging onto her, and ehere were so many hanging on that !obey started to pull her under. Of dusir own accord the men in the water let go to save those in the boat. Most of them were drowned. The Majestic listed so that the men- , could not stand on deck, and the sides were covered with men hanging on to ropes and not knowing whether to jump Into the sea or not. We low- ered all our lifeboats and steam launches, and so did the other ships. We picked up a number of the crew and were pretty close to the Majestic When she went down like (Crock. Ap Ithe went down she turned over and a garby ran along her side to the ram at her bow and got on it without even oeing wet. A bout picked him up off the ram, which stuck out of the water after the ship had ceased to settle. She had torpedo nets on her aides, and many of the crew were unable to get clear of the nets and went down with her. Quite a lot were caught below decks and had no possible chance to escape. There was a big explosion as she went under—probably The boilers bursting. Thousands of troops on shore and thousands of sailors on the ships saw the final plunge, and It was a eight to remem- ber. When the ship started to go, the Old Man rushed back to his cabin, got the signal book and destroyed it. Also, he saved the lives of two of his nen. We gave dry clothes and btandy and !offee to the l it imeys we rescued, and though they Ipid just come through eataithing grettie tougb. they were 4 ' calm and cool and started talking right away about what ship they would probably be assigned to next. CHAPTER XII. A Pal Crucified. Wleet we got to \V\ Bench on my next trip the weather was really fine, but it did not please us much, for as soon us we got In range the enemy batteries opened up on us and the shell fire was heavier than any we had been in before, though not more effective. We drew in on a bright morning, about half past five or six, with our convoy, tile troopship Chain- pagne, ahead of us and going slowly, sounding all the way. At this part of the shore there is a dock about a mile and a half long, running back into the country and terminating in a road. The Cham- pagne was nopting for this dock, sounding as she 4 tvent. Suddenly, when she was within 500 yards of the shore, I saw her swing around and steer in a crazy fashion. We began asking each other what wns the matter with her, but we learned afterwards that her rudder had been torn off, though we never found out how, nor do I think anyone ever knew. Then she went aground, with her steno toward the shore and listed over to port. You could see different arti- cles rolling out and down the side. Then her back broke. The quarter- deck was crowded with men half dressed, with life belts on, jumping over the side or climbing down. There was an explosion and a cloud of black smote broke over us, and for a while I thought I was blinded. All the time the shells were raining in on us and on the Champagne. When I could see again I saw the men on the Champagne climbing down the starboard or shore side. One chap was going down hand over hand along a stanchion,' when another fellow above him let go and slid right down on him. The first man fell about thirty feet, landing in the water with his neck doubled under him. Our lifeboats and launches were out picking up sur- vivors. Those who got safely over the side started to swim ashore, but when they had gone only a little way they found they could wade in. When the water was only up to their waists they came upon barbed wire entanglements and not a man got ashore that way but was scratched and clawed and man - Is Where the GOLIATH was wrack/ad. st Where the MAJESTIC was wrecked. 0 Where the C.ASSARDI eregseed the WZR:FT esct the KAISER UCHZ - MATL1N6. gled horribly. Some of them that I nitW 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 Cassnrd our guns had been btley all the time, and it was not long before we put one enemy bat- tery out of commission. We had suf- fered a bit, too, but not enough to worry us. There were about 8,000 men on the Champagne, I think, and at least a third were killed or drowned, and the casualties must have been almost two-thirds. The ship was pat a mass of wreckage. They called for a landing party from the Canard. and officers asked far volunteers for trench duty. 1 was not y keen about going, titmouse I hind hems Its trenches tit Dimwit., and I kleev how pleasant they were --not, bet I volunteered, und se did Murray. We went ashore in our bouts under a heavy lire. There were 12 men killed In the lifeboat In which I was. I es- caped without a scratch. We were mustered up on shore and volunteers were called for, fur sentry duty. Murray volunteered. If he had only gone on with the rest of UR he might have come. through. After it short wait we were given the order to advance. The tiring became heavier about this time, 80 we went at the double. We had not got very far be- fore we had a fine little surprise party handed us. The front line was running over what appeared to be good, solid ground, when they broke through mid fell into trenches 30 to 40 feet deep. These trenches had been dug, govered ovet with %-hich boards and then with dirt, and were regular initn-triips. Sharp stakes were sticking out of the parapet and parades, and at the bot- tom were more stakes and rocks and barbed wire. We were advancing with bayonets fixed and arms at the curry, so when the first line fell, and 8(4110 of the second, the boys of the third line came running up, and in the scramble that followed many of the cluips In the first few lines were bayoneted by their coinrades. I was in the third line, but I was lucky enough to pull up in tune and did not fall in. You could not look down into that trench after you bad seen it once, it was too sickening. Our casualties were sent back to the Still). One boat ants sunk by a shell and all the men lost. We remained where we were, scratching out shallow trenches for ofiraelves, 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 a 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 cooties I had ever had at Dixmude. The morning came at last, and I 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 be had been mining 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 a bench of men collect around a storehouse at the farther end of the docks on the shore side. I ran up to them. There was poor old Murray. They were Just taking him down. He had been crucified against the wall of the storehouse. There was a bayonet through each arm, one through each foot and one through his stomach. One of the garbles fainted when he had to pull one of the bayonets out. They had hacked off his right hand at the wrist and taken his identifica- tion disc. I lay this to the German officers more than the Turks. I do not know just what I did after this. But it changed me all around and I 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 fro•-i 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 50 or (30 e our boys cooking and sleeping and not giving a thought to the shells or shrapnel. The mules outside were banging away at the bay, as though there never had been a war in the world. There was no shell made that could budge them away from that hay unless It bit them. Then along came a cart making a lot of racket. One of the fellows in It had half of his face shot away and was all bandaged up, but he was try- ing.th sing and laugh just the same as the rest were doing. They were Anzacs. and ware Pretty badly shot up. The word \Anzac fito you probably know, is made front the initial° of the A ustralitin and New %ciliuml tinny corps. They had it regular town, called Anzac, on the peninsula. At SuvIn buy anti itround Gitlin Type the AllZite8 got furilit•r into the Turkish 'Mein Ginn any other unit In the stilted armies. They were wonderful fighters. By this thue the Turks were milking an attack, and all you could see to the front Wall one lung line of smoke and spouting earth. Then our guns started and the noise was deafening. It was worst' tlitin in the turrets aboard Alp during an engagement. My head rang for days after we left the Dardanenem. The Turks were gt•tting a better idea of our range now and the shells were falling pretty close to us, but finally we tore In with the 14-1ich titivate and ripped up three of their batteries. In the lull Met followed we made good time und reached our front line posi- Mons at Sedd-el-Bahr during the after. noon. The next morning we 'untie our first attack. I had hiatt it bad night of it, thinking about Murray, and when the He Had Been Crucified. time came there never was a chap more glad to charge and get a chance at the enemy with the bayonet than I was. We attacked according to a program. Time cards were issued to the ()Meet of each section, so that we would work exactly with the barrage. To be ahead of, or behind the time card, would mean walking into our own barrage. The time of attack Is called zero— that Is, the minute when you leave the trench. Some of the Armee said if meant when your feet got the coldest but I do not think they suffered very much with trouble in the feet—nol when they were advancing, anyway. The time card might read somethine like this: First wave, zero, advance, rapid walk, barrage 25 in 10 seconde, take first trench, 0:20; second wave, same as the first, pass first trench, 0:28; take second trench, 0:35. The third wave is ordered to take the third trench, and so on, for as many lines as the enemy is entrenched. The other waves might be instructed to occupy Hill 7, 12:08, or dig In behind rock 12:45. 'Here, zero Is understood, the first figures standing for minutes and the others for seconds. It might take several hours to carry out the pro. gram, but everything Is laid out to an exact schedule. I was in the sixth line of the third wave of attack and zero was 4:80 a. m. Whistles were to be the signal for zero and we were to walk to the first line Turkish trench. As we came out our barrage fire would be burst- ing 50 yards ahead of us and would lift 25 yards every. 10 second'. Our stunt was to take advantage of 11 without walking Into It. Depew goes over the top in an attack on the Turkish trenches and has some close calls before he gets back to his own lines. Don't miss reading about It In the next Installment (TO BE CONTINUED.)
