" The last gallant attempt that was made to bring relief to the garrison, which so nearly met with success, must rank, in spite of its failure, as one of the finest and bravest episodes of the whole war. The large river steamship J ulnar, dismantled of all unnecessary superstructure, was stacked up with over two* hundred and seventy tons of pro- visions. It was manned by a volunteer crew under the direction of Commander C. Cowley, V. C. , who knew the river remarkably well, as he had been an of...ficer on board the river steamers for nearly thirty years. On the 24th of April he started to make a dash for Kut. The steamer passed through more n8 MARVELLOUS MESOPOTAMIA than twelve miles of the Turkish lines, although fired at by thousands of rifles and numerous guns, till at the last bend of the river, within sight and range of Kut, when almost every man on board the ship had been either killed or wounded, an unlucky shell burst upon the bridge. This wounded the last officer, and a Turko-German device caused the ship to run aground on the outside of the bend Treacherous Arab spies had informed the Turks of the loading up of the J ulnar, so they had stretched a strong cable across the river, not at right angles to the banks, but slanting towards a point where they concentrated troops and artillery.
