"And," said Bart, a little assertively, "I am not a school-boy." "So I perceive," said Ranney, coolly. "The fault I find with you geniuses " "We geniuses!! " "Is," said Henry, "you perpetually fly and caracol about, and just because you can, apparently, and for the fun of the thing." "Eagles fly," said Bart. "And so do butterflies, and other gilded insects."
This plain was practically bare, but Caracol Dagh was thickly covered with dwarf oak and scrub, and Anzac with a good undergrowth of rhododendron, veronica, and other similar bushes. As regards the soil, the gullies at Anzac on the spurs of Sari Bahr were quite bewildering in their heaped up confusion, partly rocky, but mainly a sort of red clay and very steep.

She threw open the blind, careless of all appearances. She would have called to him: but the words choked her; and what should she say? He looked up boldly, and smiled. "Farewell, fair lady mine.
In the centre it was a yellower clay with patches of sand and bog, and on Caracol Dagh it was all rock and stones, so that digging was impossible, and all defences were built either with stones or sandbags. The view looking back to the sea from almost any part of our line was glorious.
Imagining the whole Suvla plain and its surrounding hills to be a horse-shoe, you might say the Turks held round three parts of the shoe, leaving us with the two heels at Caracol Dagh on the north and Anzac on the south, and a line between these two points across the plain.
I might add that neither has he a table, for with his fingers and knife he eats the meat off the fire. Forks he is without, and a horn or shell spoon conveys the soup to his mouth direct from the copper pan. So universal is the use of the shell for this service that the native does not speak of it as caracol, the real word for shell, but calls it cuchara del agua, or water spoon.
