ARMY'S HEAVY TASK.

STORMING THE CLIFFS.

Every effort wua made to cut the wire, but almost all those who landed in the centre ware shot down. The beach party, detach ments of Engineers, and some of the Royal Saval Division, who were coming ashore in the second tows, made for the shelter of Cape Teke, and, hearing the shouts of our inen on the top of the cliffs, they swarmed up rifles in hand, to their assistance.

The task before the Army is a heavy one- Our position is now perfectly secure, and the Army holds a fine track of lat country with many convenient landing-places, where- troops, stores, munitions, and guns can be landed in perfect immunity from the ememy's guns, except for the occasional shelling of some battery on the Asiantie shore,

The problems which the laniling parties had to face when landling in Southern Galli poli were

of a different character from these which the Australians successfully solved further north. The cliffs are not high and irregular, but rise from fifty to a hundred feet from the water's edge. In places there is no foreshore, and jagged rocks make a land-selves, and thus in ing impossible, but there are at intervals the enfilade fire on the foreshore.

Y

HEIGHTS, OF AKI BABA.

Once you have elimbed the low cliffs at any of these points you find yourself on an open grassy plateau, which stretches inland for about two miles until the ground becomes more hills and broken as you approach the village of Kirithis, and the slopes of the do ninating heights of Aki Bab, which rises some 700 feet above the sea. The immediate flat plateau is partly cultivated and partly grass, covered with scattered brushwood.

At ten am. another regiment was landed, which, sweeping up the valley, cleared the Turk off the skyline. It then became possible to remove the wounded from the beach, to cut the barbed wire, and to start disembarking

stores and aromunition.

That afternoon our men oven succeeded in advancing a little inland, and some com- panies worked their way east along the cliffs to try to assist the troops who were endea rouring to get ashore on the beach between Cape Helles and Seddul Bahr. This advance was for a time successful, and some of the enemy's trenches were capturel, but the fine having become very attenuated our men had to fall back to the immedinte crests commanding W beach. Here they occupied the trenches out of which they had driven the Turks carlier in the day.

HEROIC MIDSHEMAN.

Beyond the village you can follow the ling of the last attack, which ended in the capture of the Turkish trenches on Hill 141, by the Over 2,000 men were stowed on board graves, the barbed wire, and the amazing directions, many living disappeared altoge when at dawn, after a rapid bombardment maze of trenches, which twist and turn in all from the battleship Albion, the liter Cyther under the terrible rain of shell from the slowly steamed towards the shore.

EXCITING SCENES:

Along the front of the beach is a bank of sand about four or five feet high, and the survivors and wounded crawled belmut this, which gave them some cover from the lenden

Meanwhile the River Cleds had gone ashore fer cast than had been intended, bow an close to a voef of rock. The rock was too deep to allow of men leaping from her and wading, but this contingency had been fore soon, and a steam hopper was brought up and also ran ashore to provide a gangway from the wooden gangways on either side.

But this was not sufficient, and it was necessary to drag a lighter to the far side of the hopper before the troops on board could attempt to disembark. Some gallantly volunteered to get a line ashore and hold the lighter in position. They ran down the gangway under a bail of bullets, leapt on to the hopper, and from there into the sex, and reached the reef of rock which runs out from the shore. Here they held the lighter in position, and called on the soldiers to leave the ship.

It was hoped that the trenches would be rendered untenable by the fire of the ships' guns, but these expectations failed to be

any were put ashom there. The land- ing at this point was accomplished without opposition, and the troops obtained a firm footing on the cliff, but when they attempted to advance inland according to the prearranged plan they encountered a very stiff opposition, and the attacks from W and V beaches being held up on the edge of the coast all day, the troops advancing from Y beach were batflanked mi obliged to retire after suffering heavy losses.

It was then decided to re-embark this force on Monday morning, and this was successfully accomplished under heavy covering fire from the ships' guns.

BATTLESHIP ACTION.

The landing on X beach was the most suc cessful of all, as it was carried out without any loss, chiefly owing to the tactics adopted by the landing ship, the Implacable.

At dawn the covering ship, the Swift- sure, opened up a force bombardment of the cliffs aboxe X bench, and then at 4.52 a.m. the Implacable grself stood in close to the shore with an anchor down until she actually reached the six fathom limit.

One midshipman, whose name 1 unfortun ately have not got, covered himself with dozens of bandoliers and carried them forward. Before ho reached the firing line he was bit three times full in the chest by ballets, all of which struck the bandoliers without doing him any harm except to knock him down.

With this reinforcement the thin khaki line held on throughout the night, and the Tarka were driven off with heavy loss.

On the following day more troops were landed on W beach, and the whole line, join. ing up with the troops on X beach, was able to move forward and get astride the peninsula,

PELTED WITH BULLETS.

Later in the morning another attempt was tried. On seeing the movement had failed the battleships Cornicullia and Albion, and also the Queen Elizabeth opened a furious bombardment on Seddal Bahr, the hills behind, and on the Turkish trenches, endea roaring to silence the pom-poms. Through out the entire day the River Clyde lay ashore with her 2,000 men packed like sardines on her protected bridge. The bullets inttled between her decks, and with officers crowded against her steel plates, but could not pene trate them, whilst the sharpshooters on shore above cover, The Turke on the Asiatic shore picked off everyone who dared show his head endeavoured to destroy the River Clyde by howitzer fire, but this was kept under by the We now come to the most terrible of all covering warships in the Stmits.

From this, only 500 yards from the shore, she plastered the top of the cliffs with 12in. shirapriel, and the foreshore with her din. The enemy could not show his head above the cliffs under this terrible storm of shell, and the tows went right in and obtained a firtu footing on the edge of the cliff, where they entrenched.
