WITH BIG SHARKS
French Soldiers, Tired of Military sery-
Ice, Take Desperate Chances to Escape

PARIS, Dec. 14.-Twelve men Of that
regiment of daredevils, the Foreign le
gion, have successfully deserted in a pc
culiarly audacieus way. The Messageries
Maritimes steamer Gao Bang was passing
the Suez canal. outward bound, with
troops for French Indo-Chifla.
Apparently number of foreign legion
aries on board had had enough of military
service, for which, of course, all the men
of the corps have volunteered, as none
are of French nationality or else they
had changed their minds regarding the at
fractions of the far East. Anyhow, one
afternoon seven of them jumped over
board
One was caught by the steamers screws
and went under. The six others, escaping
sharks, swan safely ashore, where they
proceeded to wave their caps derisively
at the boat. Two hours later six more
foreign DICTIONARIES followed suit. two of
them being recaptured and put in irons,
while the four others successfully joined
the six already on land.
The next morning two more men of the
corps jumped. overheard and escaped both
pursuers and sharks. 1t is not known
what has become of the twelve deserters
who landed and were left behind.
