four DAYS IN
AFRICAN JUNGLE
BRITISH Filler is MENAcED BY
LIONS AND LEoPARps.
officer Falls In a Bog and Suffers
Aponles Until Rescued by
Band Of Natives.

LONDON, England.-Horrible expe.
riences Of British aviator who came
down in an East African Jungle are
described by him in letter just re.
ceived by a relatives here.
The aviator, Lieut.. G. Garwood,
went up to bomb a German ambush
on the Ruff river, but through en-.
gine trouble had to descend in the
bush, the machine landing with a
broken propeller in bog. 1t took
him four days TO make his way to q
place of safety.
He tells how in the dusk he was
confronted with an ugly black animal
about four feet feet high with vicious
tuslis. He climbed tree and prepar-
ed TO put in the night there. Later he
opened his eyes and saw something
like two green electric bulbs about
thirty feet from the tree. They moved
forty-five minutes.
"The tension was unbearable," he
writes. Il wanted to scream, shout
and yell all in one, but instead burst
out with "The Admiral's Broom" and
with full.throated bass l roared out
the three verses. No applause, but q
reward-the leopard skunk away. Why
had l not thought of it before?
II went through my repertoire. I
laughed as I finished Two Eyes Of
Graw.' 1t seemed so ridiculous. Then
I got on to hymns, remembered four
verses Of % God, Our Help Of Ages
Past and sang the Amen, too. The
whole thing had its ludicrous side"
Next morning while swimming a
river he passed seven yards from a
crocodile's mouth. but just reached
the bank in time. Without food or
arms-his only weapon of defense his
nail scissors-his progress through
the awful bush was about one hundred
yards an hour. His clothing was in
ribbons, and his flesh exposed to the
thorns, sword grass and flies.
He swan seven more rivers that
day and sank down exhausted against
a tree. He could hear a lion roaring
about 500 yards away, and, somewhat
nearer, the gruntirg of a hippopota-
mus.
Being exhausted, more or less
lost cons ciousness for perhaps half an
hour or so. Nothing short of hippo
charging could have made me climb
tree. Am afraid life had little
to offer about that time"
1t was while lying here that the
lieutenant had the annoying expert.
ence of surveying two large baboons,
the size of small man, quarreling
over his trousers, now in threads, and
among the tops of forty-foot trees.
1t was not until he had passed an
other horrible day and equally terrific
night in the bush that he at last was
picked up by some natives,
Their eyes seldom left me-" he
adds. Undoubtedly was a strange
sight-my legs bare and bleeding, my
short vest sodden, dirty and torn, no
trousers, of course, just dirty sun
helmet, a short sticl, in my right hand
and with four days growth of beard
on my dirty face"
