CHAPTER VI.
A Leap for Liberty.
I liad been In prison at Courtral
nearly three weeks when, on the morn
ing of September 9th, I and six other
officers were told that we were to be
transferred to a prison camp In Ger
many.
One of the guards told me during the
day that we were destined for a re
prisal camp In Strassburg. They were
sending us there to keep our airmen
from bombing the place.
He explained that the English car
ried German officers on hospital ships
for a similar purpose and he excused
-the German practice of torpedoing
these vessels on the score that they
also carried munitions! When I
pointed out to him that France would
hardly be sending munitions to Eng
land, he lost Interest In the argument.
'Some days before, I had made up my
, mind that it would be a very good
thing to get hold of a map of Germany,
which I knew was In the possession of
one of the German interpreters, be
cause I realized that if ever the op
portunity come to make my escape,
such a map might be of the greatest
assistance to me.
With the Idea of stealing this map,
accordingly, a lieutenant and I got In
front of this Interpreter's window one
day and engaged in a very hot argu
ment as to whether Heidelberg was on
the Rhine or not, and we argued back
and forth so vigorously that the Ger
man came out of his room, map In
hand, to settle it. After the matter
was entirely settled to our satlsfac-
I Confiscated the Map.
tlon, he went back Into his room and
I watched where he put the map.
When, therefore, I learned that I was
on my way to Germany, I realized that
it was more Important than ever for
me to get that map, and with the help
ot my friend, we got the Interpreter
out of bis room on some pretext or
another, and while be was go ne I con
fiscated the map from the book In
which he kept It and concealed It In
my sock underneath my legging. Aa
I had anticipated, It luter proved of
the utmost value to me.
I goMt none too soon, for half an
hour later we were on our way to
Ghent. Our party consisted of five
British officers and one French officer.
At Ghent, where we had to wait for
several hours for another train to take
us direct to the prison camp In Ger
many, two other prisoners were added
to our party.
In the Interval we were lockqfl In s
room at a hotel, a guard sitting at the
door with a rifle on his knee. It would
have done my heart good for the rest
of my life If I could have gotten away
then and fooled that Hun —he was so!
edeksure.
Later we were marched to the train
that was to convey us to Germany. It
consisted of some twelve coaches,
eleven of these containing troops going
home on leave, and the twelfth re
served for us. We were placed In s
fourth-class compartment with old,
hard, wooden seats, a filthy floor and
no lights save a candle placed there
by a "auard. There were eight of us
prisoners and "four guards.
As we sat In the coach we were an
object of curiosity to the crowd who
gathered at the station.
"Hope you have a nice trip I" one of
them shouted sarcastically.
"Drop me a line when you get to
Beijln, will you?" shouted another in
broken English.
"When shall ve see you again?"
asked a third.
"Remember me to your friends, will
you? You'll find plenty where you're
going!" shouted another. "
The German officers made no efflort
to -repress the crowd, In fact, they
Joined In the general laughter which
followed every sally. '
I called to a German officer who was
passing our windew.
"You're an officer, aren't you?" I
asked, respectfully enough.
"Yes, what of It?" he rejoined.
"Well, In England," I said, "we let
your officers who are prisoners ride
first class. Can't you fix It so that we
ean be similarly treated, or least be
transferred to second-class compart
ment?"
"If I bad my way," he replied, "you'd
ride with the hogs I"
Then he turned to the, crowd and
told them of my request and how he
had answered me, and they all laughed
hilariously.
This got me pretty hot.
"That would be a d sight
better than riding with the Germans ["
I yelled after him, but If he consid
ered that a good Jok« he didn't pass
It on to the crowd.
Some months later when I had the
honor of telling my story to King
George, he thought this incident was
one of the best Jokes he had ever
heard. I don't believe he ever laughed
harder In his life.
Before our train pulled out, our
guards had to present their arms for
Inspection and their rifles were loaded
In our presence to let us know that
they meant business.
From the moment the train started
on its way to Germany, the thought
kept coming to my heud that unless I
could make my escape before we
reached that reprisal camp I might as
well make up my mind, as far as I
was concerned, the war was over.
It occurred to me that If the eight
of us In that car could Jump at a given
signal and seize those four Hun guards
by surprise, we'd have a splendid
chance of besting them and Jumping
oil the train when It first slowed down,
but when I passed the idea on to my
comr they turned it down. Even
If tl i worked as gloriously
as I iiictured, they pointed out,
the fact that so ninny of us had es
caped would almost Inevitably result
in our recapture. The Huns would
have scoured Belgium till they had
got us and'then we would all be shot.
Perhaps they were right.
Nevertheless, I was determined that,
no matter what the others decided to
do, I was going to muke one bid for
freedom, come \yhat might.
As we passed through village after
village In Belgium and I realized that
we were getting nearer and nearer to
that dreaded reprisal camp, 1 con
cluded that my one and only chance of
getting free before we reached It waa
through the window! I would have
to go through that window while the
train was going full-speed, because II
I waited until It had slowed up or
stopped entirely. It would be a simple
matter for the guards to overtake or
shoot me.
I opened the window. The guard
who sat opposite me—so close that
his feet touched qilne and the stock
of his gun which he held between his
knees occasionally struck my foot —
made no objection. Imagining no doubt
that I found the car too warm or that
the smoke, with which the compart
ment was filled, annoyed me.
As I opened the window, the noise
the train was making as It thundered
along grew louder. It seemed to say:
"You're a fool if you do; you're a fool
If you don't—you're a fool If you do—
you're a fool If you don't" —and I said
to myself "the noes have It," and
closed down the window sgain.
As soon ss the window wss dosed,
the noise of the train naturally sub
sided and its speed seemed to dimin
ish, sod my plan appealed to as
stronger than ever.
I knew the guard In front of me
didn't understand a word of English,
sad so. In s quiet tone of voice, 1 con
fided to the English officer who sat
next me what I •had planned to da
"For God's sake, Pat chsek It I" he
urged. "Don't be a lunatic! This rail
road is double-tracked and rock-bal
lasted and the other track Is on your
side. Yen stand every chance In the
world of knocking your brains out
against the rails, or bitting a brides or
a whistling post, and If you escsps
those you will probably be hit by an
other train on the other track. Yea
haven't one chance In s thousand to
make ltl" .
There was a good deal of logic In
what he said, but I figured that oaee I
was In that reprisal camp I might
never have even one chance in a thou
sand to escape, and the ides of re
maining a prisoner of war indefinitely
went against my grain. I resolved to
take my chance now at the risk of
breaking my neck.
The car wss full of smoke. I looked
scross at the guard. He was rsthsr an 
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 1.1918
old man, going" DSffis on leave, and he
seemed to be dreaming of what was in
store for him rather than paying any
particular attention to me. Once in a
while I had smiled st him, and I figured
that he hadn't the slightest Idea of
what was going through my mind all
the time we had been traveling.
I began to cough as though, my throat
was badly Irritated by the smoke *nd
then I opened the window again. This
time the guard looked up and showed
his disapproval, but did not say any
thing.
It was then 4 o'clock In the morn
ing and would soon be light I knew I
had to do It right then, or never, as
there would be no chance to escape in
the daytime.
I had on a trench coat that I had
used as a flying coat and wore my
knapsack, which I had constructed
out of a gas bag brought Into Courtral
by a British prisoner. In this I had
two pieces of bread, a piece of sau
sage and a pair of flying mittens. All
of them had to go with me through the
window.-
The train was now going at a rate of
between thirty and thlrty-flve miles an
hour, and again It seemed to admonish
1 Pulled Myself Up, Shoved My Feet
Through the Windew, and Let Oo."
me ss It rattled along over the ties.
"You're a fool If you do—you're a fool
If you don't. You're s fool if you don't
—you're a fool If you do. You're s fool
If you don't."
I waited no longer. Standing upon
the bench as If to put the bag on the
rack and taking bold of the rack with
my left hand and a strap that hung
from the top of the car with my right,
I pulled myself up, shoved my feet and
legs out of the window and let go.
There was a prayer on my lips as I
went out, and I expected a bullet be
tween my shoulders, hat It wss MO
•▼er In an Instant.
I landed on my left side and tktt,
burying ray face In the rock ballast,
cutting It open snd closing ray left
eye, skinning my hands and shins and
strsining my ankle. For a few mo
ments I was completely knocked out,
and If they shut at me through the
window, In the flrst moments after my
escspe, I had no way of knowing.
I Of course, If they could have stopped
the train right then, they could easily
have recaptured me, but at the speed It
I was going and In the confusion which
must have followed my escape, they
j probably didn't stop within half of a
mile from the spot where I lay.
I I came to within a few minutes and
when I examined myself and found no
bones broken, I didn't stop to worry
t about my cuts and bruises, but Jumped
up with the Idea of putting as great a
distance between me and that track as
possible before daylight came. Still be
ing dazed, I forgot all about the barbed
wire fence along the right of way and
ran full tilt Into It. Right there I lost
one of my two precious pieces of bread,
which fell out of my knapsack, but I
could not stop to look for It then.
 The one thing that was uppermost In
my mind was that for the moment I
wss free, and It was up to me now to
make the most of my liberty.
CHAPTER VII.
J Crawling Through Qsrmany.
The exsct spot st which I made my
desperate leap I don't know. Perhaps,
after the war Is over, someone on that
train will be good enough to tell me
arid then I may go back and look for
th'fe'tfßit I must have made In the rock
ballast.
i; I have said, I didn't stop very long
that morning after I once regained my
senses.
• I was bleeding profusely from the
wounds caused by the fall, but I
checked It somewhat with handker
chiefs 1 held to my face, and I also
held the tail of my coat so aa to catch
the blood as It fell and not to lesvs
tell-tale traces on tbe ground.
Before 1 stopped I bad gone about a
mile. Then I took my course from the
stars snd found that I had been going
Just opposite to the direction I should
be making, but I could not go back
across the trsck there.
Heading west, therefore, I kept this
course for sbout two and a half hours,
but as I wss very weak from loss of
blood 1 didn't* cover very much ground
In that time. Just before daylight, I
came to s canal which I knew I had to
cross, and I swam It with everything
I had 00.
This swim, which proved to be the
first* of a series that I was destined to
make, taught me several things.
In ths first place, I liad forgotten to
remove my wrist-watch. This wstch
bad been broken In my tali from the
sir, but I had it repaired st Courtral.
In ths lesp from ths train, ths crystal

been of great service to ma In my
subsequent adventures, but ths swim

Then, too, I bad not thought to take
my map out of my sock and ths water
damaged that, too.
Thereafter, whenever I bad any
swimming to do, I was careful to tske
such matters Into consideration, and
my usual practice was to make a
bundle of alt the things that would be
damaged by water and tie it to my
head. In this way I was able to keep
them dry.
Jt was now dsyllght and I knew that
It would be suicidal for me to attempt
to travel In tbe daytime. My British
uniform would havo been fatal to me.
I decided to hide In tbe daytime and
travel only at night
1 Not fur from the canal I could ses a
heavily-wooded piece of ground, and I
made my way there. By this time I
hnd discovered that my loft ankle had
been strained In my lonp from ths
train, and when I got to the woods I
was glad to lie down and rest. Ths
wouud In my mouth had been opened,
too, when I Jumped, aud It would have
been difficult for me to liavo swallowed
bad not tbe ploro of bread, which was
to serve for my breakfast, got wet
when I swam tbe cnnnl. I found a safe
biding place In which to spend the
day and I tried to dry some of my
clothes, but a slight drizzling rainfall
made that out of the question. I knew
that I ought to sleep, as I planned to
travel at nlgbt, but sore as I was,
csked with mud and blood, my cloth
ing soaked through and my hunger not
nearly appeased, sleep washout of the
question. This seemed to me about
the longest day I bad ever spent, but
I was still to learn how long a day can
really be and how much longer a night.
When night came I dragged myself
together and beaded northeast.
My clothing consisted of my Flying
Corps uniform, two shirts, no under
wear, leather leggings, heavy shoes, a
good pair of wool socks and a German
cap. I had a wallet containing sev
eral hundred francs In paper money j
and various other papers. I also had
a Jackknlfe which I had stolen one
day before from the property room at
Courtral, where all the personal ef
fects token from prisoners were kept.
Fqr a day or two I had carried a knap
sack, but as I had nothing to carry In
It I discarded It.
I traveled rapidly, considering my
difficulties, and swam a couple of
canals that night, covering. In all per
hnps ton miles before daylight Then
I located In some low bushes, lying
there all day In my wet clothes snd
finishing my sausage for food. That
was the lsst of my rations.
Thst light I msde perhaps the same
dlstancs, but becsme very hungry snd
thirsty before the night was over.
For the next six days I still figured
thst I was in Germany, snd I was liv
ing on nothing cabbage, sugar
beets and an occasional carrot, always
In the raw ststs Just ss I got them
out of the fields. The wafer I drank
was often very rank. One night I lay
In a cabbage patch for an hour lapping
the dew from ths leaves with my
tongue! *•
During this period I realized thst I
must svold meeting anyone at all has
ards. I was In the enemy's country and
my uniform would have been a dead
give-away. Anyone who captured roe
or who gave Information from which
my capture resulted might have been
sure of a handsome reward. I knew
that It was necessary for me to make
progreas as fast as possible, but the
main consideration was to keep out of
sight, even If It took ms a year to get
to Holland, which was my objective.
From my msp I estimated that I was
about thirty-five miles from Strassburg
when I made my leap from the train,
and If I could travel In a straight line
I had perhaps oss hundred and fifty
miles to travel. As It was, however,
I was compelled to make many detours,
snd I figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer ths extent of the
Journey ahead of me.
In several parts of this country I had
to travel through forests of young pins
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost ss If they had been set out
Tbey proved to be a serious obstacle
to m« because, I could not see the stars
through them and I was relying upon
the beaven to guide me to freedom. I
am not much of an astronomer, but I
know ths I'ole Star when I see It But
for It I wouldn't be hers todsy!
I believed It rained every nlgbt aud
day while I waa making my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
My Invariable program at this stsgs
of my Journey wss to travel steadily
all night until about six In the morn
ing. when I would commence looking
aronnd for a place wherein to bide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, ns for as possible
from thn traveled pathway, usually
served toe for this purpose. Having
fonnd such a spot I would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my onljwcovering, snd that was usu
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep I got during those
days wss from exhaustion, snd It usu
slly came to me towards dusk when
It was time for me to start again.
It was a mighty fortunate thing for
me that I was not a smoker. Somehow
I hsve never used tobacco In any form.
I wss now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure I had fiwegone In the past as
a result of my habits In that partic
ular, because my sufferings would cer
tainly have been Intensified now If, In
sddltlon to lack of food and rest, I
hsd bad to endure s craving for to
bacco.
About the sixth night I wss so
drowsy snd exhausted when the time
came for mo to be on the move, that
I waa very much tempted to sleep
through the night. I knew, however,
that that would bs a bad precedent to
establish and I wouldn't give In.
I plugged wearily along and about
II o'clock, after I bad covered perhaps
four miles. I sat down to rqst tor a
moment on s shock of brush .which
Wak sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there. It was daylight when
I awoke, snd I found myself light In
s German backyard. You can Imagine
thst I tost no time In getting out of
that neighborhood and I made up my
mind right there and then that I would
never give away to that "tired feeling"
again.
In the daytlms, in my hldlng^lacs,
"I Found Myaclf Right In ■ German
Back Yard."
wherever U happened to be, .1 had
plenty of opportunity to study my map,
and before very long I knew It almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however, It
did not show all the rivera and csnala
which I encountered, and sometimes It
fooled me completely.
It must have been about the ninth
night that I crosaed Into Luxembourg,
but though this principality la offldally
neutral. It offered me no safer a haten
than Belgium would. The Huns hava
violated the neutrality of both, and dis
covery would have been followed by
the same consequences as captor* In
Oermany proper.
In the nine daya I had covered per
haps seventy-five miles, and I was that
much nearer liberty, bnt the lack of
proper food, the constant wearing of
wet clothes, and the loss trf sleep and
rest had reduced me to a vary Black
