[Illustration: French Cruiser Jean D'arc]
[Illustration: SUBMARINE E11 AT KEPHALO.
The vessel commanded by Commander Nasmith, V.C., which penetrated
the Narrows and arrived off Constantinople, causing the greatest
consternation there by sinking several vessels off the city and one
actually alongside the quay.]

by hospital carriers and landed at rest camps in the island.]

[Illustration: FRENCH FLAGSHIP _SUFFREN_.
Carrying the flag of the Contre Amiral Guepratte. This is the vessel
shells from which are shown in a previous drawing.]
[Illustration: LORD TREDEGAR'S HOSPITAL YACHT "LIBERTY"]
[Illustration: HOSPITAL SHIP _AQUITANIA_.
The enormous bulk of the _Aquitania_ was an outstanding feature in the
harbour. The smaller hospital ship alongside is handing over serious
cases to be sent back to England.]
[Illustration: H.M.S. 'Lord Nelson']
[Illustration: SUBMARINE E2 RETURNING FROM THE SEA OF MARMORA.
Submarines always receive a great ovation from vessels of every
nationality in harbour on their return from raids in the Sea of
Marmora.]
[Illustration: MUDROS HARBOUR.
In the centre of the drawing is H.M.S. _Glory_. To the left are some of
the French ships; while the Russian cruiser _Askold_ can be seen on the
extreme right.]

Helles]
[Illustration: HOSPITAL SHIP _AQUITANIA_ AT MUDROS.
Some idea can be gained of the size of this vessel by the collier of
8000 tons lying alongside. The _Aquitania_ has a carrying capacity of
upwards of 4000 wounded.]
