from an English merchant who had
and came to me for assistance and
whom had been able to get through
the lines. His message telling me Of
his safe arrival In Rotterdam came to
me In an Indirect way. Of course. but
the fact that the plans We had made
carried through without mishsp makes
me feel that We ought to be able to do
as muchfor you"
told Huyliger I was ready to follow
his Instructions and would do any
thing he suggested.
Il want to reJoin my squadron as
soon as I possibly can." l told him.
"but / realize that II will take GER
tin length of time for you to make the
necessary arrangements. and Will be
as patient as can"
The first thing to do. Huyliger told
me. was to prepare passport. He had
a blank one and It was a comparatively
simple matter to I'LL in the spaces, us
ing a genuine passport which Huyliger
possessed as sample OF the hand
writing Of the passport clerk. My oc-
cupation was entered as that Of a
sailor. My birthplace We gave as
Spain. and we put my age at thirty.
As d matter OF fact, at that time
could easily have passed for thirty
i've, but We figured that with proper
food and decent place to sleep at
night. / could soon regain my normal
appearance. and the passport would
have to serve me. perhaps. for several
weeks to come.
Filling In the blank spaces on the
passport was. as 1 have said, COM
paratively easy matter. but that did
not begin to fill the bill. Every genu-
Inc passport bore an official rubber
stamp. something like an elaborate
postmark, and I was at loss to know
how to get over that difficulty.
Fortunately. however. Huyliger had
half of rubber stamp which had evil
IDENTIFY been thrown away by the Ger
mans. and he planned to construct the
other half out Of the cork from a wine
bottle. He was very skillful with a
penknife, and although he spoilt a
score or more Of corks before he sue
ceeded in getting anything like the
result he was after, the finished article
was far better than our most sanguine
expectations. Indeed. after we had
pared It over here and there, and re-
moved whatever imperfections our re-
peated test disclosed. we had a stamp
which made an impression so closely
resembling the original that without a
magnifying glass, We were sure, 1t
would have been impossible to tell
that II was a counterfeit.
Huyliger procured camera and
took photograph Of me to paste on
the passport In the place provided for

creasingly difficult. he pointed out. and
would bring inevitable disaster in the
event that was called upon to speak.
Huyliger said / would be given suf-
ficient money to bribe the German
guards at the Dutch frontier. and he
assured me that everything would work
out according to schedule.
"Yours is not the first case, o'Brien.
We have handled successfully" he de-
clared. 'Only three weeks ago / heard
