ARM0RED CARS IN THRILLING DASH

terrogated, but none knew Biz Hakim
except a man who said he had fed q
flock there 30 years ago. Subsequently
another man, who had been the pris-
oners' guard, was discovered, and tho
duke asked permission to attempt q
rescue. Every man in the batteries
sat up all night and next day tuning
up the machines. The batteries were
REINFORCED by light cars carrying the
guns and all the motor ambulances
within travelling range Of Sollum were
brought in.
There were gathered at the old Turk
ish fort on the ridge above sollum nine
armored Rolls-Royce cars, five touring
cars with guns. light cars-forty-two
motors altogether.
At three o'clock in the morning the
column moved out of the fort.
When the column got 80 miles on
the Tobrunk road the cars turned on
the desert due south. After Is miles
rough-and-tumble over desperately
rough ground the party began to feel
uncertain OF success. The two Arab
guides were arguing as to whether
they were on the right track; the man
who had not seen Biz Hakim since his
boyhood thought they were wrong.
The other Arab would not say much.
The desert was now very stony. A
hundred miles went by and then 105.
Still there was not the faintest sign Of
the Tara prisoners camp. Between
10 and lis miles nobody spoke, and
the silence suggested fears of failure.
A mile farther on the Arab became
animated on seeing a sort Of small
mountain.
A halt was called at two o'clock and
the duke sent forward the armored
cars to attack. They raced up to with
in 200 yards of the mound.
Tho prisoners were standing silhou-
cited against the skyline, dumb with
amazement at the appearance of the
strange throbbing feet.
At last one threw OF the sack cover.
ing him and family cheered. and the
crowd staggered forward in the rolling
gait Of starved men and swarmed
round the cars, crying: Are we free"
They could not be persuaded to leave
the cars and slightly hindered the Brit
ish advance to tackle the guards. all
of whom were subsequently killed.
The remainder of the column started
a tremendous race to the spot. They
ran abroad, caring not for obstacles or
punctures, and the air was filled with
the cheers of the crews and the noise
the exhausts.
The prisoners condition was des-
perate. A heap Of white shells showed
that snails had been their staple diet.
Occasionally they had had goat flesh.
but the amount served out was re-
duced to the size of a skinned mouse,
one prisoner said. Parties had gone out
daily to find edible roots.

By W. r. MASSEY.


Suez, Egypt have just heard the
details of the armored car fleets dash
to the rescue Of the men Of the
wrecked ship Tara. It will stand as a
classic in motoring annals.
When General Lurkin reoccupied
Sollum in western Egypt he found
that the Arabs had burned the camp.
Ten armored carsscame upon a re-
markable road which, starting In the
desert, runs to Tobrunk, 80 miles away
in TripoH. Over it the motors had a
speed of IS miles an hour.
At Aziza, the cars suddenly came
upon the Arabs and dashed into a
Turkish mountain gun and two ma
chine guns, killing every gunner by
Maxim fire. Then, without halt, they
charged in line over the powders, stih
scrub, sandy patches. The charge con-
tinued for seven miles.
Three field guns, nine machine guns,
hundreds of rifles, spare parts, dyna-
mite, travelling workshops and quar-
ter of million rounds of rife ammu-
milton were captured.
Some of the came:s, hit by machine
gun fire, blew to pieces as II struck by
q high explosive, or burst into flames.
It was found that the Arabs had
loaded them with bombs and petrol.
The duke of Westminster was in
