We kin quarter the groun' a good bit ahead; an I guess we'll eyther kum on them or thar berra afore long." I agreed to this proposal; and, after securing our four quadrupeds to trees, we started off into the depth of the woods. Only for a short distance were we able to make out the footsteps of the men: for they had chosen the dry sward to walk upon.
Hab wuk'd all mah life seem ter me. At one time I wuz a chambermaid at de Nicholson House now de Tulane en later 'kum a sick nuss, a seamstress, dressmaker but now I pieces en sells bed quilts. I does mah own housekeepin' en washin'." "I don't member now, very much 'bout de Ku Klux Klan.
All here especially regret that Colonel Girodon, one of the best staff officers existing, has been severely wounded whilst temporarily commanding a brigade. Colonel Nogués, also an officer of conspicuous courage, already twice wounded, at Kum Kale, has again been badly hit." Girodon is one in ten thousand; serious, brave and far sighted. The bullet went through his lung.
On December 28, 1915, Turkish artillery brought down a biplane flying over Yent Shehr and Kum Kaleh, and on the previous day a reconnoitering and bombing expedition was undertaken by a Turkish seaplane, which dropped bombs on the harbor tool house at Mudros.
I replied that I would have filled that fellow's hide so full of holes that it couldn't be stuffed with straw. "Well," said he slowly, "I kum purty nigh doin' it. But I jes' thought as how 'twan't Jim a shootin', but his jag, an' then I seemed ter see his kids a hangin' on th' gate a waitin' fer him t, come home, an' his wife a worritin' about him, an' I jis couldn,t do it.
Braithwaite came back and reported all serene; everyone keen and cooperating very loyally. D'Amade has now received the formal letter I wrote him yesterday after my interview and sees his way clear about Kum Kale. Went ashore in the afternoon and saw big landing by Australians, who took mules and donkeys with them and got them in and out of lighters.
Joe cried, "KUM 'ere!" then turned inside. Mother and Sal entered. They had come to make Dad and themselves a cup of tea. They quarrelled with Joe, and he went out and started playing with the snake. He let it go, and went to catch it by the tail again, but the snake caught HIM by the finger. "He's bit me!" Joe cried, turning pale.
And the bay at Sedd-el-Bahr, so the last messengers have told us, had turned red. The River Clyde so far saves the situation. She was only ready two days before we plunged. At 1.30 heard that d'Amade had taken Kum Kale. On the Asiatic side, then, things are going as we had hoped. The Russian Askold and the Jeanne d'Arc are supporting our Allies in their attack.
Some weeks passed by after our visit to Kum Ping on the steamer. She had landed, and, like hundreds of others, had simply disappeared from view in that place of many mysteries, old Chinatown. On meeting this messenger I noticed his great excitement and nervousness. Only after the door was tightly shut did he tell his errand.
"We must go and see what it looks like, and try to learn where those sounds came from." "S'cuse me, massa, dis chile don't set he foot on dat lan', kase ef he do, he neber leabe it agin." "Then if you are afraid," said I, tauntingly, "I will go alone; you wait until I return." "Massa," implored the frightened negro, "don't go; you neber kum back; you is lost."
