were two marine engineers .who not
long ago, received a pardon strange
as" it may seem for making a daring
and Ingenious attempt to escape.
. Living together in the ' same hut
these men were engaged for years In
digging a secret tunnel from their but
to the beach. At the end of the tunnel
they hollowed ont-a chnmber'ln which.
with pieces of driftwood and little bits
of steel and iron ' smuggled Into the
hut they fashioned a boat, the metal
being at first used to. make tools and
afterward to form bolts and rivets.
Then with Infinite pains tbey built
an engine to propel the boat, and after
laboring mightily for seven years, they
completed their task, - 7 ' '
Everything, was ready except, the
provisioning of the vessel, when they
were betrayed by a fellow convict to
whom they had confided their plan.
But so Impressed was the French com
mandant by ' their marvelous energy,
skill - and, patience that he managed
after year to obtain a pardon. for
