IMPRESSIVE INTERCESSION SERVICE BEFORE DATTLE.

Five hundred Australians, as part of covering force, came aboard a battleship. The crew and troops assembled on the quarter deck at four o'clock in the after- noon to listen to the reading of Admiral de Robeck's Proclamation. This was follow-

The Turks made counter-attacks all day, but the Australians did not yield a foot of ground on the main ridge, and rein- forcements were constantly rushed up from the boneh. Four Turkish field guna enfaded the beach with incessant deally shrapnel fire, and were not silenced until the afternoon. The enemy's attacks became more vigorous towards dusk, supported by powerful artillery from inland, which the warships' guns were unable to silence.

We steamed slowly shorewards at three o'clock in the morning, the boats following the battleships like gliding snakes..

The battleships reached a distance of 2,500 yards from the shore at 4.10 a.m., and the engines were stopped. The guns were manned, and searchlights were ready. The boats wore ordered shoreward, and twelve snakes of boats steamed slowly past the battleships. Their gunwhales were flush to the water, no crowded with khaki-clad figures were they.

All the ammunition and water supplies had to be carried through pathless valleys and hills hundreds of feet high to the. firing line, where the mass of troops were swept by incessant shrapnel..

the grim hills, shapeless, yet menacing in the! gloom. Not a sound or a light was heard or seen. It appeared as if the enemy had been surprised. Suddenly, at 4.50 a.m., an alarm light was flashed for ten minutes, and it then lisappeared. The dull outline of the boats, which were almost on the beach, became just visible. Seven de stroyers, with the remainder of the Brigade had just previously glided shoreward. The enemy's first shots were fired at 4.55 a.m., when a sharp barst of rifle-fire from the beach drowned a faint British oheer over the waters. The sound was comforting and inspiring after the intolerable suspense.

The fire became more intense until 5.28 a.m. when it died down. Meanwhile be- hind us appeared transports with the remainder of the Australian and New Zealand Division.

Ä MINITE'S BRILLIANT WORK.

Tho problem of removing the wounded was a most serious one, as we had never scen such wounded in war before as wore the Australasians. Many were shot to bits, and their recovery was hopeless, hurt they cheered in boats, lighters, and traw lens as they were waiting to be accommo- dated on the ships.
