VII.—WITH THE SCENTINELS AT OPOPONAX.
Picking the buds. A blooming swindle. The smell of the ocean. The smell of Salonika. Catching it hot, Bouquet de Bulgarie. Ottoman olfactives working at a hose. Atta rose. Johann Maria inventing a highly sensitive nose. The lily of the Val de Travers. Fishing for Frangipanni. Back petalling. The Eau B.E.
“A highly sensitive nose.”
VIII.—WITH THE DERBYITES IN THE DARDANELLES.
Sighting land. Landing sites. Achi Baba. A close shave. A brush with the machine guns. Napoo. Shampoo. Epsom salts. Up the straits. Round Tattenham Corner. Lighting the K Lighters. Fighting the B Lighters. Turks trotting. Bulgars bulging. Armenians with harmoniums. Cossacks in cassocks. Giving ’em Dardanell.
