Text Appearing Before Image:
here was no place or time for anyconsideration of the dangers of the Channel crossing.Although the very waters through which we dashed wereknown to be infested with submarines which would havelooked upon him as capital prey, I dont believe the Gen-eral ever gave them as much as a thought. Every time I looked through the open door of hiscabin, he was busy dictating letters to his secretaries ororders or instructions to his aides or conferring with hisChief of Staff, Brigadier General Harboard. To theAmerican commander, the hours necessary for the dashacross the Channel simply represented a little more timewhich he could devote to the plans for the great workahead of him. Our ship was guarded on all sides and above. Swifttorpedo destroyers dashed to and fro under our bow andstern and circled us continually. In the air above hydro-airplanes and dirigible balloons hovered over the waterssurrounding us, keeping sharp watch for the first ap-pearance of the dark sub-sea hulks of destruction.
