his senses and made good his es-

On one occasion while he was
swimming a river, he lost a shoe
in nine feet of water. He spent four
hours recovering il, and reached the
other side only to discover that a
bend in the river had made his
crossing futile On another occa-

beyond his strength. On reaching
the bank. . he tainted for the first
time in his life
Nearly famished for food. he made
his way to a Belgian home and was
admitted. The family gave him po-
iatOes to eat-the frs cooked food
he had had in 80 days. He was
also given water to drink. He had
