that afternoon, there was another fierce homhardnoTit. and the village of llooe va liru'lly reduced t-a complete ruin. Xevertlif less, the British iiehl on tenaciously, and actually succeeded in materially consolidating their position, and later in the overling I.ieut. K;itanakis aain occupied the chateau. The net May was comparatively Inactive on the British side, though tho tlcrmaiis shelled vigorously. In tho evening, however, the British caught siht of ahout r of tho Hermans moving alon a trench ahout r0 yards from the chateau, and succeeded in killing a numher of them. I ire -O a Minute. Tho real fury of tho tlermnn attack was felt on the following day. Brum early till late their artillery, firing hiis'h explosives, shrapnel, and occasional "stink hornhs." searched t lie trenches and the lines of communication with a torrent of projectiles which at times came over at the rate of 20 to tho minute. On this day they did not contine themselves to gun and rille tire only, hut m-do several attacks. One such attack was hei;un hy a small part of about r.o men, who were- seen advancing1 towards tho chateau from beside the Zellewaarde Jake, that lies a little to the north. The Hermans were allowed to reach the chateau. But as soon as they were there a battery opened on them. The Hermans promptly rushed into tho open and were caught hy machine guns. Hack they went into the chateau and out the other side. Other machine guns caught them there. Three times they tried to escape in this way. At the most four or live managtd to crawl away, and even they. were probably hit and wounded. In the afternoon, also, an attack was made By small parties, but none of the attacks were pressed home, and at no time did the enemy trot within Sk yards of the trenches. The attacks, it Is conjectured, did not exited to meet with any opposition, and one Herman otlioer who obviously thought that the British had heen smothered by the inferno of artillery fire was shot as he was cooly strolling along outside his own trenches. I Hiring a heavy shelling of Hooge village one post of three men was blown to hits. Another took its place. no man was at once killed, and a second was wounded and huried in falling brickwork to the shoulders.
