When the time came, their advanced troops entirely failed to notice that the trenches close in front of them had been vacated. For conveying the embarking troops to the transports and warships which were to take them on to Imbros and Mudros, dependence was being placed almost entirely upon the special lighters, provided with motor power, which had been extensively used since August. They were capable of carrying 500 men as a full load, although about 400 was more usual on this occasion. When it... came to be a question of shipping men and guns from impro- vised jetties in a rising sea, they proved extremely serviceable ; they had been nicknamed ' beetles ' by the troops, owing to the derricks that supported their gang-boards resembling antennae. A small pier had been constructed at Gully Beach, the point from which the last detachments of the 13th Division to hold the front line trenches were to put off ; the strength of these last detachments, together with divisional headquarters and some minor details, came to 645 of all ranks.
