York, but soon after thought it would be better to take to cover behind a large tree about fifteen paces in rear of Corp. York. Privates Dymowski and Waring were on each side of me and both were killed by machine gun-fire. I saw Corp. York fire his pistol repeatedly in front of me. I saw Germans who had been hit fall down.
Farther back a little farther back was Arrow, running magnificently, too. A greater distance behind the two came Slingshot. Tharon was frightened. Not for herself. Not for the intent of the men who came after her. Not for gun-fire, nor for capture. She was afraid for the king! Afraid that Bolt could hold that wonderful pace! Then a surging rage rose and sickened her.
I came to feel I would rather get "pinked" in Pervyse than retire to Furnes, seven miles back of the trenches. Pervyse seemed home, because we belonged there with necessary work to do. Then, too, there was a certain regularity in the German gun-fire. If they started shelling from the Château de Vicoigne, they were likely to continue shelling from that point.
For the time being!" "And we truly stand on Asia?" he asked. "Aye!" said Ranjoor Singh, "Then why did we not put those Turks ashore, and steam away in their ship toward Gallipoli to join our friends?" said he. "Partly because of submarines," said Ranjoor Singh, "and partly because of gun-fire. Partly because of mines floating in the water, and partly again from lack of coal.
None attempted to evade this order, most carried out both alternatives; perhaps a casual reminder that they would be within observation and gun-fire of the ship had some influence on their action. Hitherto the Turco-Teutonic brand of Holy War had been fairly successful.
We have been winding and turning about, and I have not an idea how far we are now from Gib. We must be through the gates by gun-fire, you know." They stopped, and by pantomime explained to the Spaniard that they wanted to get back again as soon as possible.
My memory goes back to a strange night in Ypres in those early days. It was Gullett, the Australian eyewitness, afterward in Palestine, who had the idea. "It would be a great adventure," he said, as we stood listening to the gun-fire over there. "It would be damn silly," said a staff officer. "Only a stern sense of duty would make me do it." It was Gullett who was the brave man.
I I think I'm a bit nervous tonight. I can't stand your gun-fire." "All right. When did you begin?" "Five weeks ago when you were away. I didn't mean to get into it, Red, on my word I didn't, after all you've warned me. But it was so beastly hot and there was a lot of extra work at the office. My head got to going it night and day.
When the German Army attacked the line of the British forces so vehemently and compelled the retreat at Mons, the devastating fire of the enemy's artillery was directed almost exclusively by their airmen, who hovered over the British lines, indicating exactly the point where gun-fire could work the maximum of havoc.
and the sound of the evening gun-fire at Portsmouth seemed at once the embodiment and the premonition of England's guilt and woe. Yet his distracted spirit could find no comfort in the thought of France. For in France the worst came to the worst; and everything vanished of liberty except the crimes committed in her name. Most melancholy at that time, O Friend!
