CHAPTER XIX
17/20

I visited the place this afternoon.

The long engine-shed at the station has been turned to use.

Only one engine remains inside, and that is used as a "bomb-proof," under which all hands run when the shelling is heavy.

Into other engine-pits cauldrons have been sunk, constructed of iron trolleys without their wheels, and plastered round with clay.

A wood fire is laid along under the cauldrons, on the same principle as in a camp kitchen.
