The prisoners have been allowed to
exercise in the corridors from 8 to J

les learned that plot had been form
ed to attack the guards during this Pc
Rod. The plot Ii said to have origin
ated with prisoners occupying the third
tier.
Davies at o'clock led q squad Of
guards into the corridors and announce
ed the suspension OF recess ordering all
prisoners to their cells. A pandemon-
ium OF howls went up from the prison.
ers. but with osme difficulty they were
forced into their cages.
Here they continued their cries, de-
spite every effort until Davies threat
ened that the evening recess would be
abolished permanently. This brought
about cessation Of the demonstra-
ton.

PEELED to live four days solely upon

Hill. who was visiting the proposed

from the party. He met a hunter
and engaged his services to escort
him out.
Neither had any food. but found an
abandoned camp and secured some
bread. The hunter killed an elk and
for four days this was their sole ra.
ton. Finally they reached Bolton.
where Hill was picked up and brought
to this place. none the worse for his
experience.
