A paralytic was shot as he sat In his
nrm-chalr, and a boy of fourteen was
taken by the legs and pulled apart.
At one place, n man was tied by the
nnns to the celling of his room and set
afire. Ills trunk was completely car
bonized, but his head and nrrns were
unburned. At the same place, the
body of n fifteen-year-old boy wa
found, pierced by more than twenty
bayonet thrusts. Other dead were
found with their hands stilt In the air,
leaning up against walls.
At another place the Germans
shelled the town for a day, and then
entered and sacked It. The women
and children were turned loose, with
out being allowed to take anything
with them, and forced to leave the
town. Nearly five hundred men were
deported to Germany. Three, who
were almost exhausted by hunger, tried
to escape. They were bayoneted and
clubbed to death. Twelve men, who
had taken refuge In a farm, were tied
together and shot In a mass. Another
(roup of six were tied together and
shot, after the Gcrmnns had put out
their eyes and tortured them with
bayonets. Three others were brought
before their wives and children and
sabered.
The Belgian told me he was at No

It. The bombardment lasted the whole
of August 21 and 22, 1014. They cen

Then they ordered every one to leave

of them took vows Just like the men

One of the patients was a German i
doctor, who had been picked up In No

He was given the same treatment no

finally, the doctors gave him up. They

It might take several weeks,
Rut there wss n nurse there, who
took special Interest In his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very well known, and
everybody said she had performed a
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then n few weeks later, when he
was out of danger and wns able to
walk, and It wns only a question of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse wns trans

CHAPTER X.
Hell at Qalllpotl.
After I wns dlchnrged from tho hos
pital. I was ordered to report to my
ship nt Brest for sea duty.
The boys aboard the Cnard gave
me n hearty welcome, especially Mur
ray, who hnd come back after two
weeks In the trenches at Dlxmude. I
was glad to see them, too, for after all. i
they were garbles, and I always feel
more at home with them than with sol-
dlers. Then, It was pretty rough stuff
nt Dlxmude, and after resting up nt
the hospital, I was keen on going to
sen again.

much to set afire, and If one bursts on
deck, there Is nothing to burn but the
wooden deck, nnd that Is covered with
steel plate.
Finally, wo hnd roll call all men
present. Then we set snll for the
Dardanelles as escort to the Duplclx,
which had on board territorial and
provincial French troops Gascons,
Tnrlslans, Normnns. Indo-Chinese,
Spahls, Turcos all kinds. When we
messed, we had to squat down on the
steel mess deck and eat from mctul
plates.
There hod been n notice posted be
fore we left that tho Zeppelins hnd be
gun sea raids, and we kept a Hve eyo
out for them. The news Droved to be
'a fake, though, nnd we did not seo n
fclngle cigar while we were out.
Wo made the trip to the Dnrdnncll
without sighting on enemy craft, keep
ing In close touch with tho Duplclx,
and busy every minute preparing for
action.
I was mnde gun captain nnd given
charge of tho starboard bow turret,
mounting two 14-Inch guns. I had my
men nt gun practice dally, and by the
time wo nenred tho Dardanelles, after
flvo days, they wero In pretty fulr
Minpc.
It was nbout 5 n. m. when wo drew
near Capo Holies and took stations
for action The Duplclx was In front
of Vis. The batteries on the capo
opened up on us, and In n few min
utes later those at Kum Knleh Joined
In.
As the Duplclx made for MV" bench
and prepared to land her troop, wo
swung broadside on, railing their bat
teries ns wo did so, and received a
shell, which entered through a gun
port In the after turret and exploded.
S'omo bags of powder stored there
(where they should never have been)
were flred and the roof of the turret
was Just lifted off. It landed on deck,
tilted up against flio side of the tur
ret. On deck the rain of fire wa simply
terrlllc. Steel flew In all directions,.
It was smaNh, crash, stnm-tutug alt
the time, and I do not mind saying I
"cvcr thought wo would come out
. it
Naturally wo wero not Just taking
all this punishment without any come
back. Our guns were at It fast and
from the wny the (Ire slackened In
certain places we knew we were mak
ing It effective. My guns did for two
enemy pieces thnt I know of, and per
Imps several others.
The French garbles wero a good
deal more excited In action than I
thought they would be. They were
dodging around below decks, trying
to miss the shrapnel thnt came
aboard, shouting, swearing, Mnglng
but lighting hard, at that. They stood
the gaff Just ns well as any other
garbles would, only In their own
sweet wny which Is noisy enough,
believe me.
One of our seamen wns hit 130
times by fragments of shrapnel, so
you can see what they were up
against In the dodging line. A gun
turret In action Is not exactly the
best place on earth for a nervous
man nor one who likes his comfort.
There Is nn awful lot of heat and
' noise and smell and work, nil the
! time In n lighting gun turret. Hut
I during an engagement I would rather
be In n gun turret every time than
between decks. At thnt. If anything
does happen In n turret It Is" good
, night sure for all, and no rain checks
needed,
i One of our Junior lleutetmr.ts whs
1 struck by a fragment of shell as he

bay to have his wound dressed. There
he sat, asking every now and then
how the fight wis going nnd then sort
of dozing off for a while.
After half un hour of action we put

rets, nm) then away we went, back to
Brest with n casualty list of only in.
We did not have much trouble guess
ing that It was dry dock for us again.
We got bnck to Brest nfter n quiet
voyage, patching ourselves up where
we could on the way, and again thero
was the rush work, day and night,
to get Into shape and do It over again,
They turned us out In 12 days and
back we went to the Turks and their
Hun assistants.
We were lucky getting Inshore, only
receiving n nasty smash aMerii, when
the Turk got our range and landed
two pcuches before we got out. We
nearly tore our rudder off getting
away. Hut wo hod to come bark right
away, because we had carried quite
Gunner Oepew Tn French Sailor Uni
form. a number of heavy guns from Brest
and wero given tho Job of running
them ashore. It wns day and night
work and u great Job for fun, because,
while you never knew when you
would get U, you had good reason to
feel you would get lammed by a cute ,
jituo sneu or a uuiniy uit or surup
nel before tho Job wus over.
""ATionril shTp IT wus decic 'work, of
course, nnd It wuh not much better
there than ashore with tho guns, be
cause, tho enemy trenches wero near
tho shoro and they amused them
selves trylnjr to pick us off whenever
wo showed on deck. I guess wo wero
a regulnr shooting gallery for them,
and somo of our men thought they
did not need all tho practice they
wero gotr.lnss, for quite a few of us

But wu did not mind tho bullets so
much. kVhcy make u clean wound or

tears you up and can play all kinds
of tricks with various parts of your
body without killing you. Ah for
shells well, mincemeat Is tho word.
The Narrows wero thick will) mines
and there had been u great deal of
damage dune there, so after a while
the llrltlsh detailed their Yarmouth
trawlers to go In and sweep up. They
had to go up unprotected, of course,
and they started off one ulght all
serene.
Kverythlng went well until they
turned at tho Nun hum and Marled
buck. Then, before )ou could tell It,
tlvo or six searchlights were playing
on one of the trawlers and shells
were splashing the water all over her.
Both banks were simply banging away
point blank at them and I never
thought they would get bnck.
They did get back, though, but
some of them hud hardly enough men
left to work ship. Hut that Is like
the Limeys. They will get buck from
anywhere while there Is one man
alive.
A chap nboord one of tho trawlers
said n shell went through the wheel
house between tho quartermaster and
himself and nil the Q. M. said was,
"(law blimey, that tickled." '
"But I Know their shooting wns
very bad," said the other chap to inc.
"Those Vurks must have thought the
flue was behind them."
Coming Buck from the Dardanelles
a gold stripe sent for me mid asked
me whether I thought there were
other ex-navy gunner In the Stntes
Umt would serve with the Frenclii
I told them the country was full of
good gunners ami he wanted me to
write to all I knew and get them to
come over. He did not mean by this,
and neither do I, that there were not
good gunners In the French navy, be
cause there Were lots of them. Hut
you can never havo too many handy
boys with tho guns and ho was very
anxious for me to get all I could. I
had no way of reaching tho ex-gurbles
I did know, so I had to pass up this
opportunity to recruit by mnll.
While we were In Brest I got per
mission to go nbourd n submarine
and a petty olllcer showed me around.
This was the first tlmo I was In tho
Interior of n sub and I told the olllcer
that I would like to take a spin In the
tub myself. He Introduced rtiu to the
commnnder, but the petty olllcer snld
he did not think they would let me
stay aboard. I showed the com
mander my passport and tnlked to
him for n while, and ho satd ho
would take me on their practice
cruise two days Inter If tho Old Man
gnve me written permission.
Ho I hot-footed It bnck to the Cas
sard and while I did not promise that
I would get any American gunners for
him In exchange for the wrltteti per-
ds&Ioli, he wns free to think thnt If
he wanted lo. It seem a though he
did take It that way, fur he gave mo
a note to the sub commander and sent
him another note by messenger. I
wanted Murray to go too. but tho Old
Man snlil one wns enough.
Ho, two ilas later, 1 went aboard
In the morning and hnd brenkfnst
