Vindicitive in Dover | Harbor, April 2: A correspondent | of the Associated Press visited cruiser Vindictive today the guest | of Captain Albert F. B. Carpenter,| who commainded her in the expedi-| parts of the mole and thronged down headq tion last Tuesday against the German | subamrine base at Zeebrugge, on the} Belgian coast. Captain Carpenter received the cor-} respondent with his arm in a sling} from’a shell splinter wound. The ship; showed innumerable signs of conflict, | her ‘decks and superstructure being} covered ‘with the scars of shells and | machine “gun hits. during the attack was at the end of the bridge in a small steel box or cab- in which had been specially contruct ed to house a flame thrower. In the) course of a long account of the part | by the Vindictive in the raid Captain | Carpenter said to the Associated} Press: | Ship Was Prepared. "Our chief. purpose in the expedi.| tion was to disract the attention ot| the battery while the block ships ran in, especially the battery of 1l-inch! guns which occupied a commanding Position at the tip of the mole. Our ship was elaborately prepared for the! soldiers on the business of landing mole which is of stone, fo and fifteen feet above the Vindictive’ top deck at the state of the tide when |; the attack took place. “We had a special superstructure over the upper deck and three long) gangways or ‘brows’ which were de- signed to take the men up to the level! of the mole as soon as we got along: side. Exactly according to the plan, we ran alongside the mole, approa ing it on the port side, where we we euipqped with specially built buffers of wood two feet wiue “Merely Dropped Anchor.” “As there was nothing for us to tie up to we merely dropped anchor ther while the Daffodil kept us against th mole with her nose against the Op} posite side of our ship. In the fairly heavy sea two of our three gang) sf were smashed, but the third he! five men swarmed up this on to the} i mole. This gangway was two fect} wide and thirty feet long. “The men who went up it included three hundred marines and one hund- red and fifty storming seamen from the Vindictive and fifty or so trom the Daffodil swarmed up the steel gangw ing hand gren-! ades and 1 guns. No Ge succeeded in approaching the way, but a hard hand to hand took place about 200 yards up the | mole toward the shore. ’ Shells Fall Slaughterously. “The Vindictive’s bow was pointed toward the shore so the bridge got the full effect of enemy fire from the shore batteries. One shell exploded against the pilot ho killing nearly all of its ten ot pants. Another burst in the fighting top, killing lieutenant and eight men who were| doing excellent work with pom poms | and four machine guns. “The battery of eleven inch guns at the end of the mole was only 300 yards away and it kept trying to reach us. The shore batteri Is were diligent. Only a few shells hit our hull because it was well protected by the wall of the mole, but| the upper structure, masts, stacks and ventilators showed above the wall and were riddled. A considerable propor-| tion of our casualties were caused by| splinters from these upper works. Daffodil Saved Them. | “Meanwhile ‘the Daffodil continued | to push us against the wall as if no battle was on, and if the Daffodil had} failed to do this, none of the members} of the landing party would have been) able to return to the ship. “Twenty five minutes after the Vin- dictive had reached the wall the first block ship passed in and headed for the canal. Two others followed in leisurely fashion, while we kept up) the fight-on the mole. One of the! block ships stranded outside of the canal, but the two others got two or three hundred yards ‘inside, where they® were successfully sunk across| the' entrance. | | | “One difficulty we had in preparing| this expedition was that we could not have open- practice of what we con- templated doing for fear the enemy! might get information of the plan. Our preparation, therefore, was lim ed ‘to’ a-certain amount of intensive training at night fighting and bombing while’ officers ‘were carefully drilled in“@ealing with all exigencies likely| to occur. * Men Eager for Battle. “All the men were tuned up to a high pitch and. it was with very an:| xious hearts that we waited for a suit- ablé time to strike, knowing that ev-/ ery day we waited there was a greater| chance of our secret leaking out. | “Fifteen minutes after the Vindic- tive arrived alongside the mole our submarine exploded under the viaduct | connecting the mole with the main- land. The Germans had sent a consid- erable force tothis viaduct as soon as the submarines arrived and these men were gathered on the viaduct at-| tacking our submersible with machine} uns," When the explosion occured the} viaduct and Germans were blown up ogether. ‘The crew of the submarine consisting of six men, escaped on Leard a dingy to a motor launch. } Howitzer Knocked, Out, ‘Early in the fighting a German sheli-knocked out our howitzer, which had been getting in some good shots 1.

H Today's list was the first marine corps casualty. list made public, and! included all names reported up to Ap- ri] 28.
