S ' 4 • _ • 8ynopsis.--Albert N. Depew, author of the story, tells of his service In the United States 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 for Prance with a determination to enlist. He joins the Foreign Legion and I* assigned to the dreadnaught Cassard. where his markniansliip wins kiln high honors. Later he is transferred to the land forces and sent to the Flanders front He gets his first experience in a front line trench "at Dixmude. He goes "over the top" and gets Ifis 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 |>e la 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 Galllpoll campaign. - CHAPTER XI--Continued, i--- --10-- ...t. tVhrtng our Eighth trick off Cape .flelles I was amidships in the galley AiSkhen I heard our two 14-pounders go i>ff almost at the same time. Every- *^A>.|body ran for his station. Going up a V the main deck to my turret a man told vtn« it was a sub on the port bow, but J only caught a glimpse of the little -whirlpool where her periscope sub- erged. I do not know w!.y she did ot let loose a torpedo at us. The Officers said she was trying to make ihe entrance to the Dardanelles and f,< • ^ jpame up blind among our ships and i•* Ivas scared off by our guns, "but I ^.thought we had Just escaped by the „; ' tkln of our teeth. Later on our de- 'ttroyers claimed to have sighted her "*• /|>ff Gaba Tepe. , At noon we were at mess when one v,);-*>f the boys yelled, "She's hit," and we • - Inc >Co m. all rushed on deck. There was the 'British ship, Triumph, torpedoed and fisting away over to starboard. She was ready to turn over in a few in In­ cites. One battleship is not supposed $o go to the assistance of another one that has been torpedoed, because the Chances are * the sub is still in the iieighborhood laying'for the second Ship with nnother torpedo. But one +f the British trawlers went to the i|ssistaace of the Triumph to pick op the crew. 5? We conld see the crew Jumping Into <fhe water. Then we breezed out floward the horizon, foil speed ahead. jUl about the Triumph was a cloud of i>lack smoke, but when we looked ^hrough the glass we could see she was >ing down. Then our guns began to >mbard the Turkish positions and I ; lad to gel busy. When I saw the ^Triumph again she was bottom up. , J»>e must have floated upside down ior almost half an hour, then she went f Jllown as though there was somebody ; ; %#n the bottom pulling her. •> a When she went our Old Man banged ~j\.'

About i|ifty from the Triumph were lost It was decided that the place was •„ ' foo hot for us with that sub running ? loose, and when they reported that ,';|tfternoon that she was making her J'\ .* south from Gaba Tepe to Cape Belies all of the fleet but the Majestic fjot under way, and the Majestic was tfce only ship left off the cape. s|'. .» * They said the Majestic was then the Ifrldest of Hie ships In that campaign, il|>ut. she was the pride of the British t just the same. She was torpedoed fl Cape Helles later on, when there Were a number of men-of»war off the '4 /«ape. The sea was crowded with men gwiiuiuing an(i drowning. I saw a life- t>oat crowded with men and other men fef *fn the water luttitrtfig onto !n*»\ un<i T.; there were so many hanging on that 'iJthey started to pull her under. Of | , 'their own accord the men in" the water let go to save those In the boat. Most Ipt them were drowned. •J • The Majestic listed so thnt the mon fcould not stand on deck, and the sides fwon nging OD ana not knowing whether ( ao Jump into the sea or not. We low- Vred all our lifeboats and steam C launches, and so did the otlier ships. We picked up a number of the crew »nd were pretty close to the Majestic when she went down like a rock. As _ ^ 5 phe went down she turned over and . a garby ran along her side to the ram »t her bow and got on it without even |tfV-"being Wet. A boat picked him up off the ram, which stuck out of the water j|v* lafter the ship had ceased to settle. ;f'}' She had torpedo nets on her sides, and many of the crew were unable to get clear of the nets and went down Iwith her. Quite a lot were caught If4 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, aud It was a sight to remem­ ber. When the ship started to go, the Old Man rushed back to his cabin, got the signal book jind destroyed it. Alsb, be saved the lives of two of hla men. We gave dry clothes and brandy and coffee to the Limeys we rescued, and though they had just coioe through something pretty 'tough;* they were calm and cool and started talking right away about what ship they prohably be assigned to next. with our convoy, "the troopship Cham­ pagne, ahead of us and going slowly, sounding all the way. At this port 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 making for this dock, sounding as she went. 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 was 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 htr stern 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 qnnr?»"-- 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 smoke 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 J 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 btit was scratched and clawed and man­ gled horribly. Some of them that I saw 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 Cassard our guns had been busy all the time, and it was not long before we put one epemy bat­ tery out of commission. We had suf­ fered a bit, too, but not enough to worry Us. There were about 3,000 men on the Champagne, I think, and at least a third were killed or drowned, and tjie casualties must have been almost two-thirds. The ship was Just a mass of wreckage. They called for a landing party from the Cassard, and officers asked for volunteers for trench duty. I was not very keen about going, because I had been in trenches at Dixmude, and I the Jirst line fell, a$d seme of the second, the boys of the third line came running up, and in the scramble that followed many pt the chaps in the first few lines were bayoneted by their comrades. I was in the third line, but I was lucky enough to pull up in time and did not fail in. You could not look My head rang-for days after we left the Dardanelles. The Turks were getting a better idea of our range now and the shells were falling pretty close to as; but finally we tore In with the 14-inch navals and ripped up three of their batteries. In the lull that followed, we made good down into that trench after you had time and reached oar front line posl- seen it once, it was too sickening. Our casualties were sent back to the ship. One boat was sunk by a Shell and all the men lost. We remained where we were, scratching out shallow trenches for ourselves, finding what natural cover there tfas 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 tlr Had Been Crucified. i tions at Sedd-el-Bahr during the after­ noon. The next morning we made oar first attack. I had had. a had night of it. thinking about Murray, and when the 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 officer 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 Anzacs said It meant when your feet got the coldest, but I do not think they suffered very much with trouble In the feet--not when thejr were advancing, anyway. The time card might read something like this: First wave, zero, advance, rapid walk, barrage 25 In 10 seconds, take first trench, 0:20; second wave, same as the first, pass first trench, 0:23; 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, qr 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 line Turkish trench. As we came put our barrage fire would be burst­ ing 50 yards ahead of us and would lift 25 yards every 10 seconds. Our stunt was to take advantage of it without walking into it.

Wlilen we got to "V" bench on my trip the weather was really fine, but it did net please us much, for as soon as we got in range the enemy batteries opened up on us and the flffe was heavier than any wo Md been in before, though not more r*.

We went ashore In our boats under a heavy fire. 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, for sentry duty. Murray volunteered. If he had only gone on with the rest 6f us he might have come through. After a short wait we were given the order to advance. The firing became heavier about this time, so 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 tc be good,- solid ground, when they broke through and fell into trenches 30 to 40 feet deep. These trenches had been dug, covered over with %-inch boards and then with dirt, and were regular man-traps. Sharp stakes were sticking out of the | parapet and parados, and at the bot- ! torn were more stakes and rocks and | barbed wire. tinder 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 find asked where he was. They said he had been missing from his post not more than an hour from the time we left. I left ray 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 bunch 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 hkd 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, ccol and un­ comfortable. We were close enough to make the roar of the cannonading seem Intolerably loud and could see the bursting sl^lls, particularly those fro i the British ships. Then we came across some Turkish prisoneis 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 60 of our boys cooking and sleeping and not giving a thought to the shells or shrapnel. The mules outside wtere banging away at the hajr, 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 hit them. Then along came a cart making a lot of racket. One of the fellows in It had half ofvhls fnce shot away and was all bandaged up, but he was try­ ing to sing and laugh Just.the same as the rest were doing. They were Anzacs, and were pretty badly shot up. The word "Anzac," as you probably know, is made from the initials of the Australian and New Zealand army, corps. They had a regular town, called Anzac, on the peninsula. At Suvla bay and around Gaba Tepe the Anzacs got further into the Turkish lines than any other unit in the allied armies. They were wonderful fighters. By this time the Turks were making an attack, and all you could see to the front was one long line of smoke and spouting earth. Then our guns started and the noise was deafening, i It was worse than in, the turret* Depew goes over the top in an attack on the Turkish trenches and has some close calls before he geta back to his own Unas.
