There is a beautiful view of the. Dardanelles, Hellespont, Aegean Sea, Gulf of Saros, Asia and the site of the ancientcity of Troy. Two large and many small hospital ships, two oldecruisers. and four de- stroyers are moving slowly V about near shore, with numerous trawlers and mine-sweepers on the horizon. 1 _ ,I I A ....... ..L-...:_... 14:- \./vs:-J vunnvtuvlllv, All `I W U W CCIlDo The ies are unbearable; vicious and persistent, and in the `trenches, especially those which we have turned the/Turks out of, it is im-` possible to sit or lie down without getting lice.
