THRILLING_DAILY: DUELS, Reuter's correspondent on board his Majesty's ship Cornwallis sends, under dato May 21st, the following account of the work of a “fanking ship" told off to fire at batteries in the Dardanelles which may be causing the Army trouble :----
As we glide in past Kum-Kale we got the first shell of the day astern of us. It drops in the water well to port, between us and a destroyer lying close to the Sodd- el-Bahr side. It is a morning greeting from "Asiatic Algy," howitzer battery conconled behind the ridge just beyond Kum-Kalo. "Algy"
also known as "Wandering Willie," from an annoying trick he has of shifting his position.

In order to reach the particular sheds in which the most important work was being done, the young flying officer dived clean. underneath the arch, shot through it only fifteen or twenty feet above the roofs of the sheds, and accurately planted his bombe he did so.
He then shot up to a fair height, and could apparently have got easily away before the surprised German soldiers could turn any thing like an effective fire on him.

Instead of doing so, however, he slewed round, and, spotting an open space in the yard where a-large number of troops had assembled and were firing at him, he dived to an elevation of about a thousand feet and dropped another bomb or two in the mides. of them, with the result that about thirty or forty were killed or wounded. After this he male off apparently unhurt.
The Belgian mechanic could not identify the officer who accomplished this daring piece of work, aurt official despatches do not tell us, but, of course, the Naval Air Service headquarters know, and no doubt the officers action will be recognized in due course
