CHAPTER Y.
Experiences in Belgium


I think that one of the worst
things l had to contend with in my
journey through Belgium was the
number of small bitches. They in
tercepted me at every half mile or
so, sometimes more frequently. The
canals and the big rivers 1 could
swim. OF course, 1 got soaked to the
skin every time l did 1t, but l was
becoming hardened to that.
These little bitches, however, were
too narrow to swim and too wide to
jump. They had perhaps two feet
of water in them and three feet
of mud, and it was almost invariably
a case of wading through. Some of
them, no doubt, I could have jumped
if l had been in decent shape. but
with bad ankle and in the weak
cned condition in which / was, it
was almost out of the question.
One night | came to q ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. I thought
was strong enough to jump it and it
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking a long run
jumped as hard as I could, but l
missed it by four or five inches and
landed in about two feet of water
and three feet more of mud.
Getting out of that mess was quite
a job. The water was too dirty and
too scanty to enable me to wash off
the mud with which / was covered
and it was too wet to scrape off. I
just had to wait until it dried and
scrape it off then.

pointed, but such disappointments
were rather rare.
One evening as 1 was about to
swim a canal about two hundred feet
wide, l suddenly noticed about one
hundred yards away a canal boat
moored to the side.
Another Narrow Escape
1t was at sort of out-of- -the-way
place, and l wondered what the
canal boat had stopped for. 1
crawled up to see. AS l neared the
boat five men were leaving 1t and I
noticed them cross over into the
fields. At a safe distance, I fol-
lowed them and they had not gone
very far before 1 saw what they
were after. They were committing
the common but heinous crime of
stealing potatoes!
Without the means to cook them,
potatoes didn't interest me q bit and
thought that the boat itself would
probably yield me more than the po-
tato patch. Knowing the canal hands
would probably take their time in The
fields 1 climbed up the stern of the
boat leisurely and without any par
ticular pains to conceal myself. Just
as my head appeared above the stern
of the boat / saw silhouetted against
the Sky the dreaded outline of a Ger
man soldier-spiked helmet and all
A chill ran down my spine as
dropped to the bank of the canal and
skunk away. Evidently the sentry
had not seen me, or, If he had, he
had probably figured that I was one
of the foraging party. But I real
lied that it wouldn't pay in future
to take anything for granted.
