A NIGHT ATTACK.

DESPERATE BAYONET FIGHTS BY THE NEW ZEALANDERS.

[FROM CAPTAIN C. E. W. BEAN, OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE AUSTRALIAN FORCES.}

GADA TEPE, August 28th. I have told of the tremendous punch which the Australians at the south of our old Anzac position delivered against tho Turks in Lonesome Pine. That punch drew two brigades of Turkish reserves straight from the village of Kojadere across the hills to the spot. I have told of the desperate self-sacrifice of the two light horse brigades at the central angle: of our position which tied down a masa of Turkish troops, although they had their packs on their backs nil ready to inove. I have new to tell the longest and, I suppose, really the most important story of all, the story of the movement from the north of our lines and up towards the crest of the main ridge, near, the northern end of which our left flank of the New Zealanders force which landed at Suvla Bay on the night of which this article speaks the night of August 6th and the early morning of August 7th.

So many wild, fanciful stories from the Greek Islands have been published with regard to the points which our forces. reached in the Gallipoli Peninsula that it is perhaps necessary to explain that the allied troops had been landed up to August 6th at two points on the penin- sula. The French were landed at Cape Helles, Quite close to the northern coast of the peninsula is the ridge of Sari Bair. This range runs almost parallel to the sea, with its innumerable spurs branching off it like the ribs from a fish's backbone. It was on a triangle formed by a part of the backbone and one of the western spurs with the sea beach as its base that the Australian and Now Zealand troops managed by the deter mined rush of the first day to gain a foothold. That foothold they have held over since. The furthest point of their triangle inland was about 1,200 yards from the sea.

TAKING THE OLD POST.

The destroyer had bombarded her sawe old trench that night as every other night. The Turks, as we suspected, lay down in the bottom of the trench till the shelling was over.

It had just finished, and they were getting to their feet again when over the parapet on top of thom came a line of silent, clambering New Zealanders. A sputtering fire broke out, but. the Auckland Mounted Rifles finished the affair as ordered with the bayouet. The Wellington Mounted Rifles were at the same time moving up the gully on their right and Obago and Canterbury through the darkness on their left into country that was less well known. Canterbury was sent farthest to turn into the foothills carlier to clear north. Otago was to go north also, but
