LETTER r
(Continued.)
The below Is part of a letter which
The Times started to run a couple of
weeks ago. from one In the trenches
in the great war. The letter is from
Herbert .VJacIntyre. and is of local
interest, as Mr. MacIntyre is known
here. We will run as much as pos
sible of the letter at ibis time and con
the balance of >' from time to time.
"I filled my pipe, and as I bad no
matches I asked an Irishman named
, Dawson for a match, and. w hen I saw
' his long face, i couldn't help laughing.
He said: "It's a hell of a toime to be
thinkin' of smokin’,” but he handed
me his box and I lit her up. I just
had three or four good draws when a
1 piece of shrapnel took it clean out
1 of my mouth and I haven't seen it
since. A moment later there came
a terrific roar and in canto our parn
i pet on to)) of us. us if it had been
| pushed In by a giant hand. The firing
| platform gripped my legs before the
' weight settled on me, but poor Con J
' new was buried under seven or eight
[ feet of debris and his head under the
' firing platform. I yelled up the line
for an axe. and one cante down atj
once and I cut away three sections of
platforms, cutting through nails, sheet;
iron. etc. I felt 1 had the strength I
of two nten. As 1 worked 1 got his}
head clear and one shoulder, and
started to dig him out. lie wasn't
hurt much and was perfectly con-'
scions, and i talked and joshed with
j him to keep u)) his spirits. There was
| a post had him gripped above tlie
I hip. but i bad put in several braces'
before I dared cut the post, and when
they were ready I asked Sergeant Me
Garry, who was behind me. to get an
entrenching tool, as I could crawl un
der and use that in the cramped space, j
and tie at once handed it to me with
the words, ‘.lust what Hie doctor or
dered, Mae.’ Just as I had my hand
on it there was another roar right by
my head and something warm
splashed over my face. I was thrown
down. The accursed shell took his
head off from the eyes up. I was be
tween McGarry and Connew, not more
than two feet from either, and they
were both instantly killed. A big
piece of the shell tore into Connew’s
head and shoulder, then, merciful God,
I was burled alive under tons of mud
and timbers. I could see lights flash
ing and though the sea was roaring
over me, and all my bones were crack
' ing, and just as all seemed over there
. was a dull, muffled roar and the weight
was nearly all thrown off me. An
other shell had landed (a high explo
sive) on top of the pile of dirt that
was pinning me down.
“I pushed the remaining dirt off me
•
and staggered to tnv feet and found I
was on top of a pile of clay where the I
trench had been. 1 was dazed and p
deaf and half blind, and H was just !
like an evil nightmare. 1 thought 1
was in the dark, and as l went along
helping myself by my hands I put my
left hand into poor MeOarry's head.
I'll never forget my horror when I
saw what I did, and then I fell over
and rolled down the hank, luckily Into
a part of the trench which hadn't been
broker, up. and I lay there for three
quarters of an hour anti didn't know
where I was and found a fellow
crouching near ute. I tried to get to
my feet, hut my left side seen.erl to
he paralyzed and I thought my arm
was off. and Cole, a chum of mine,
told me tint to move, as l was in had
shape. I was covered from head to
foot with mud. blood and brains. The ,
shells were still raising hell, and af- 4
ter lying there a few minutes we J
hen id a terrible moaning, and I asked 4
Col.- who it w as, and lie said 'Sinltnie,' J
and said. ‘We will have to get him 1
down." but lo said it's no use, for he l
Is dying and can’t last many more j
minutes, as his bowels were torn ^
■ « iy. lie wa ten feet away front 4
me when MeOarry and Connew were ^
killed, and he was also killed by the 1
same sheli Fitzgerald (Judge Fit/, j
geraldV sou. from 1’. K. I.) and John* 1
Coition, civil engineer, were also J
buri' d by the same shell, hut they ^
were not hurt. j
