behind him. but by that time the
king had me by the hand and was
congratulating me, and he spoke so
very cordially and Economically
that he put me at my ease at once.
He then asked me how / felt and
whether l was in condition to con-

told him that ] had heard similar

the king of England.

At this moment / asked him If

"Not at all, leftenant, not at all !"
he replied, most cordially. Il was

I had not expected to remain more
than few minutes. as l understood
that four minutes is considered a long
audience with the king. Fifty-two
minutes elapsed before l finally left
there!
During all this time I had done most
of the talking in response to the
kings request to tell my story. Occa-
sionally he interrupted to ask ques-
ton about a point he wanted me to
make clear, but for the most part he
was content to play the part of lis
tener.
He seemed to be very keen on every
thing and when l described some of
the tight holes | got into during my
escape he eyinced his sympathy. Oc-
casionally / introduced some of the
few humorous incidents of my adven-
ture and in every instance he laughed

then he stared at me for another min
