When that was finished Bush I and Hickling set off to find with of the 8th - their O.C.M.G. - who promised lastnight to take us over all the galleries. We had some little difficulty in finding him: as he lives in sucha weird place. The first part of his address is "casruatis" ??? which is the barracks close to the N. End of Gib. From there we had to begin climbing up the rock. We eventually found him at the entrance to a cave looking place which was really one of the galleries. These galleries are like long tunnels and they run all over the north part of the rock. There are about three levels with communications between each. They were built after the famous seige (sic). There are guns placed in them on the face of the rock, and there are several trenches absolutely beautiful placed. There are about 20 machine guns up there and some of them absolutely c??? and the road in from Spain. I should be really sorry for anyone who attemtped to get in their way. There
