the recent discussion. Some of the
notes which have thus passed have
been practically unintelligible in just
these spots where clear and am

point involved. These epistles must
certainly have been studied by their
writers-at least there must have been
time for such study-but they read as

I'VE were to perform a famous feat
IN crawling on all fours for many
meters. Our ambition was not ex-
actly to attract attention of the Rus
slams and receive their applause from
their quick-frers. All sorts of fire.
works seemed to help the work of
their searchlights. We made slow
progress, always on all fours. We
reached the second netting of barbed
Wire, and this we hacked away with
out very much trouble. In front of
us vas the final fence. We had a
happy run of luck so far We do not
wish to spoil it by a touch Of careless
ness or too much daring. Cautiously.
therefore, we went OH our stomachs
to make the distance between the sec.
ond and the first barbed-wire entangle-
ments. All this distance was a sur
prise to us; it was covered with many
things evincive of the skill and
thoughtfulness of the Russian engi-
neers. 1t was about one hundred
meters in length. The ground was
sloping. 1t was filled with pitfalls and
mines innumerabIe. For a second
these mines made us forget the first
line Of wire fence toward which we
were making our way. First of all,
we had to dispose of the mines. We
had reason to suspect that they were
electric mines, and, in fact, the Rus
sian engineers, with all their thought
fitness, did not always take the trou-
Bile to bury the conductors. We dis
covered and cut as many as four con-
ductors, which were just about the
size of my thumb. They were wrap

the rubber coating We found over
twenty-four small wires. l carried no
scissors with me. These electric
wires were neat surprise to us. The
severe usage to which it had been
put had dulled the edge of my axe
almost as blunt as the edge of my
palm. 1t could not cut the rubber
wrapped wires on soft earth. Time
was pressing. We were in danger of
being discovered before we could get
al the first line of barbed-wire fence,
which was the last goal of our ef-
forts; moreover, we We're somewhat
impatient. So all of us fell upon those

bit them off. L fear we may have
been somewhat excited. We did some
damage to our teeth by this work.
