A Reporter At Armageddon Letters From The Front And Behind The Lines Of The Great War War College Series PDF Download

Excerpt from A Reporter at Armageddon: Letters From the Front and Behind the Lines of the Great War To-night this little Spanish jitney steamer is eleven days from New York and twelve hours - perhaps - from her home port of Cadiz, just outside of the Strait of Gibraltar. Since we passed the Azores three days ago we have been steering a curved course; but for that we should have reached port already. Approaching the Strait of Gibraltar is dangerous just now, even for a strictly neutral ship. Between the Pillars of Hercules the German mine-laying submarines are busy, and the currents carry the mines out into the broad Atlantic. For that reason we steered north; and just after sunset this evening a flashing light announced our approach to the Spanish Coast. We have been hugging the three-mile limit ever since, and across the severe shore, which we can make out in the beams of a new moon, comes the distant gleam of town lights.
