Diagram Showing How o'5rien Lost
Precious Hours by Swimming RIv-
er and Later Finding That He Was
on the Wrong Side and Had 70 Swim
Back.
Sooner or later. I realized would
probably approach a Belgian and find
a German instead. but In such a con-
tingency / was determined to meas
ure my strength against the Huns If
necessary to effect my escape.
As It was, however, most Of the Bel
CLANS to whom applied for food gave
1t to me readily enough, and II some
of them refused me 1t was only be-
cause they feared I might be spy
or that the Germans would shoot them
IL their action were subsequently
found out.
About the fifth day after I had en-
tered Belgium was spending the day
as usual In a clump of bushes when I
discerned in the distance what ap-
peared to be something hanging on a
line. An day long strained my eyes
trying to decide what 1t could be and
arguing with myself that 1t might be
something that I could add to my in
adequate wordrobe, but the distance
was so great that could not identify
1t. I had a great fear that before
night came It would probably be re-
moved.
As soon as darkness fell, however, I
crawled out Of my hiding place and
worked up to the line and got pair
Of overalis for my industry. The pair
Of overalls was the first bit Of civil
ian clothes I mad thus far picked up
with the exception Of a civilian cap
which ] had found at the prison and
concealed on my person and which I
still had. The overalls were rather
small and very short, but when put
them on I found that they hung down
far enough to cover my breeches.
1t was perhaps three days later that
/ planned to search another house for
further clothes. Entering Belgian
houses at night is anything but safe
proposition, because their families are
large and sometimes as many as seven
or eight sleep In single room. The
barn Is usually connected with the
house proper, and there was always
the danger Of disturbing some dumb
animal even IL the inmates Of the
house were not aroused.
frequently I took a chance of
searching back yard at night In the
hope Of finding food scraps, but my
success in that direction was so slight
that I soon decided that it wasn't
worth the risk and I continued to
live on raw vegetables that / could
pick with safety In the fields and the
occasional meal that was able to get
from the Belgian peasants in the day
time.
Nevertheless I was determined to
get more in the way Of clothing and
when night came / picked out a house
that looked as though it might furnish
me with what I wanted. It was a
moonlight night and if could get in
the barn / would have fair chance OF
finding my way around by the moon,
light which would enter the windows
The barn adjoined the main part OF
the house, but I CROPPED around very
carefully and soon I touched some.

know what it was, but / confscated
1t and carried 1t out into the fields
There In the moonlight I examined
my booty and found that it was an old
coat. It was too short for an over
coat and too long for an ordinary
coat, but nevertheless I made use Of

small bitches. They intercepted ND
at every half mile or 80, sometimes
more frequently. The canals and the
big rivers could swim. OF course, +
got soaked to the skin every time
did it, but 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 1t was almost invariably a case Of
wading through. Some Of them. no
doubt, could have jumped If 1 had
been In decent shape, but with a bad
ankle and In the weakened condition
In which was, it was almost out of
the question.
One night I came to q ditch about
leight or nine feet wide. I thought I
was strong enough to jump 1t and it
was worth trying as the discomfort
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking long run,
Il Jumped as hard as I could, but E
missed 1t by four or five inches and
LANDED In about two feet Of water and
three Of mud. Getting out Of that
mess was quite Job. The water was
too dirty and too scanty to enable me
to wash off the mud with which I was
covered and it was too wet to scrape
on. I just had to wait until 1t dried
md scrape it off then.
In many sections of Belgium through
which I had to pass I encountered
arge areas Of swamp and marshy
round and rather than waste the
Inc involved in looking for better
nderfooting-which I might not have
ouno anyway used to pole right
through the mud. Apart from the
iscomfort Of this method Of travel

as an added danger to me in the fact
lat the squash. squash" noise which
made might easily be overheard BY

way from somebody, and I realized
