He reached the line, but after hull an hour he was perceived by the Tarks guard ing the viaduct. He made a detour, having hidden his; dyna- mite and weapons, to sao if the other side of the viaduct was u guarded. This was fruitless, consequently he searched for a spot where he could greatly damage the railway, The Turkish soldiers a few yards away heard him light a fuss. Lieutenant Haghes then bolted, firing, on his pursuors who returned the

He swam seaward, blowing on a whistle, a pro-arranged signal for a boat, but receiving no reply he was compelled to return to thashore and rest.
