"Wq passed a dreary, dull day and sat in our holes, watching the Turkish trenches," the correspondent writes. "At last the evening came and dark­ ness followed quickly, Then the moon rose and cast her silvery fight over the landscape. This light was so bright and clear that we could dis­ tinguish the color of objects at some distance. “The Turks kept very quiet and tha night promised to be even more dull than the day had been, Towards mid­ night an officer Invited me to accom­ pany him on a little scouting expedi­ tion. Cautiously We crept through some miserable shrubbery, Every­ where we saw dead bodies, singly and in heap*. At last we reached tbe crest of the height and we were with­ in gunshot distance from the Turkish position on the opposite hills, “Between the two heights there was a large black hole, KerevCs-Dere, the 'Ravine of Death/ I looked down Into the valley and shuddered.
