His "posy"' was 80 close to the Turkish trenches, that thelr artillery rarely troubled him.. Comfortably ensconced in his' nest, Sing lay with a couple of tele- scopes focussed on likely places. An' officer lay near with er scope. So afraid were the Turks of these unlucky spots that the patient sniper often lay a whole day without! getting a plimpse of the enemy. On' other days the Turks (new troops| probably) looked for trouble. They walked boldly into view at a bare 500, yards, and Sing, as he toppled them over, exclaimed, "It's too easy to be called sport." "Spotted" by the Turks. At first the enemy had not the slightest idea whence the death deal- ing bullets came. Often Sing would bag a Turk, and the enemy would blaze furiously at some of our loop- holes a hundred yards away. Bub after a time they located him, and the sand bags and bushes around his "posy were riddled with bullets. On one oc- casion a bullet found its way through the loophole badly wounding a ser- geant who was observing the slight-' ly wounded Sing. Another sergeant' took the telescope, and Sing, after having his wound dressed, resumed his sniping. One day a Turk who knew the danger spot bobbed up his head for an instant and then disappeared. The inperturbable Sing never moved-- just kept his rifle focussed on to where he knew the Turk must show up. A couple of minutes later a head appeared in the sap, then the shoudders, then the chest. There was a sharp crack of the rifle.
