But the fire thus directed on them at point blank range did not affect the resolution of Rigby and his stout crew of six marine artillerymen in the top.
I heard the guns there still burst. ing out into their mad barking. But soon there came a crash and a shower of sparks, and silence followed it. They are all gone, I said to myself; but in a minute or two a single gun in the top broke out again, and barked and barked.
"Then there was another crash, and the silence of the top became un- broken."
This is but one of many thrilling., incidents described by Lieut.-Come mander E. Hikon-Young, the M.P., in his book "By Ses and Land: Some Naval Doings (T. C. and E. C. Jack). It is a jolly chronicle of a wonderfully varied four and a half years of war, and quite exceptional in the lascination of its telling and the rich- ness of its adventure; The author was financial editor of the Morning Post in 1914, but in August he was with the. Navy as a decipherer; he finished up in November 1918 with the D.S.O. in command of an armoured train which, had fought a duel with a Bol- sheviet train on the Archangel front.
He dwells on the lighter incidents. There is the destroyer" which whipped round and shelled its own wake in mistake for a' submarine, 'and most delicious of all there is the Scottish j.P.. suffering from a spy scare.
He was undressing by his unsbut- tered window when he heard a sharp crack on the glass, and looking down saw that a window pane had been hofed and starred. He threw himself on to the floor and crawled out of the
