PUSHED HARD TASK
TURKS' DESPERATE EFFORT TO
CROSS THE DESERT.
Really Wonderful Work Accompliahetf
in the Face of Almost Incredible
Difficulties, Though Succeaa
Waa Not to Be.
In writing of a recent trip through
the Suez canal, in Harper's Magazine,
William Ashley Anderson tells the
story of how (he Turks brought pon
toon boats across the desert In their
effort to force a crossing of the canal,
! as an English officer told him.
I " 'We'll be at Kantarah soon,' said
a young gray-eyed officer of the In
dian marine.
"I looked forward. The canal wound
gracefully away to the southward,
fringed on the Egyptian side by a re
freshing growth of green palius and
drab acacias, broken at long Interval*
by tiny bungalows, where employees of
the canal company kept eternal watch
over the company's interests, much aa
the armed sentries across the way
stood guard for the empire. On the
Arabian side was nothing bot the bil
lowing sand, crowding Itself to the
very water's edge, and seeping into the
channel, despite the revetments of
atone brought in ballast from far coun
tries to hold the tiny particles in check,
despite the great dredges that prowl
up and down, sucking at the Invading
streams like monstrous anteaters fac
ing a migratory tide of insects,
ι "'Kantarah?'
" 'Tes. There it Is now.' His face be
came animated. Leaning far forward,
, he tiled his gaze on the approaching
spot, and there, sure enough, was Kan
tarah, the point nearest Port Said,
where the Turks had attempted to
cross.
I " 'Not far.' He grinned. Ί was In
charge of a couple of armed tugs.
We kept running up and down from
here to Ismailla, banging away in the
Herb "
" 'Bat they reached the canal?'
" Oh, yes. They launched some
pontoons—two. There's one now. The
Other's down at Ismallla.'
"There, Just swinging Into the Kan
tarah bank at the end oi a cable, tor
all the world like a Chinese ferry αα
the Grand canal, loaded with Indian
troops, horses and fodder, was a barge
! like Iron pontoon. I recogniied Its Ger
I man origin ; for I had seen such be
I fore. But this was the first vessel I
I had ever known to cross a desert that
tries the stamina of Bedouins and tbe
endurance of dromedaries. It was not
the last. There was another at Ie
mallla. And at Pork Tewflk there
was a long row of them, punctured by
shrapnel and bullets, filled with sand
and used as a causeway.
ι "It was In my heart to feel sympathy
for the wasted efforts of the^p surpris
ing Turks. It will be a long while
before we understand the organiza
tion of the army that crossed the des··
ert, dragging pontoons and heavy guom
effecting slmultaneoaaattacfcaattt·»
main points on a fTon^MMMlB^
hundred miles along a barren shore
with a salt desert as a base; and per
sisting In the attacks to the point of
launching several pontoons—six ot
j which, probably, could have support
' ed a bridge and afforded sufficient ac
commodation for a strong advance
guard. There was one thing, however,
that aroused equal admiration ; It was
, the appalling neatness with which tbe
attack was smashed. It was as though
three serpents, having crawled across
the desert, reared their heads simul
taneously only to have them complete
ly crushed by several very large end
very determined hobnailed boots.
