Mail Boat Starts Today

The first trip on mail route from

Belle river, was made today by a
motor launch, whose owner and cap
tain is G. T. Goodman.
The boat leaves Morgan City on
Tuesdays and Fridays at a. m. and
returns at 4:3O p. m. Fifteen stops
are scheduled to be made between
here and Forgey's Camp, and about
400 people are thus given twice-a-
week mail service. It is also Mr..
Goodman's plan to inaugurate passen-
ger service on these days for those
who would enjoy days outing on
the water. It is about rs miles to the
camp and the route is through a very
picturesque section of country.

THE Hun"
- -----= By #
LIEUTENANT
PAT O'RRIEN

In the .ntcrval we .,ere locked in a
room at hotel, a guard sitting at the
door with rifle on his knee. 1t would
have done my heart good for the rest
Of my life if l could have gotten away
then and fooled that Hun-he was SO
| cOcksure.
Later we were marched to the train
that was to convey US to Germany. 1t
consisted of some twelve coaches,
eleven of these containing troops going
home on leave, and the twelfth re-
served for us. We were placed in a
fOurth-clasS compartment with old,
hard, wooden seats, a filthy floor and
no lights save a candle placed there
by a guard. There were eight of us
prisoners and four guards.
AS we sat in the coach we were an
object of curiosity to the crowd who
gathered at the station.
"Hope you have nice tripr' one of
them shouted sarcastically.
"Drop me a line when you get to
Berlin. will you?" shouted another in
broken English.
"When shall we see you again?"
asked a third.
Remember me to your friends, will
you? You'll find plenty where you're
going!'' shouted another.
The German officers made no effort
to repress the crowd, in fact, they
joined in the general laughter which
followed every sally.

passing our windew.
"You're an officer, aren't you?' I
asked, respectfully enough.
Eyes, what Of it?" he rejoined.

can be similarly treated, or least be

ment" " ~,
IF I had my way" he replied, you'd
ride with the hogs!"
Then he turned to the crowd and
told them Of my request and how he
had answered me, and they all laughed
hilariously.
This got me pretty hot.
'That would be a d sight
better than riding with the Germans !"
I yelled after him, but if he consid-
cred that good joke, he didn't pass
If on tn tho crowd
Some months later when I had the
honor of telling my story to King
George, he thought this incident was
one Of the best jokes he had ever
heard. I don't believe he ever laughed
harder in his life.
Before our train pulled out, our
guards had to present their arms for
inspection and their rifles were loaded
in our presence to let US know that
they meant business.
From the moment the train started
on its way to Germany. the thought
kept coming to my head that unless I
could make my escape before we
reached that reprisal camp 1 might as
we'll make up my mind, as far as I
was concerned, the war was over.
It occurred to me that if the eight
of us in that car could jump at given
signal and seize those four Hun guards
by surprise, we'd have splendid
chance of besting them and jumping
of the train when 1t first slowed down,
but when passed the idea on to my
comrades they turned it down. Even
If the plan worked out as gloriously
as I had pictured, they pointed out,
the fact that SO many Of US. had es-

we were getting neaIT and nearer tG
that dreaded reprisal camp, l con
cluded that my one and only chance Of
getting free before we reached it was
through the window! l would have
to go through that window While the
train was gcing full-speed, because il
I waited until it had slowed up OF
stopped entirely, it would be a simple
matter for the guards to overtake or
shoot me.
I opened the window. The guard
who sat opposite me-so close that
his feet touched mine and the stock
of his gun which he held between his
knees occasionally struck my foot
made no objection, imagining no doubt
that found the car too warm or that
the smoke, with which the compart-
ment was filled, annoyed me.
AS opened the window, the noise
the, train was making as it Numbered
along grew louder. 1t seemed to say !:
you're fool if you do; you're fool
If you don't-yOu're fool if you do
you're fool if you don't"-and / said
to myself "the noes have it," and
closed down the window again.
AS soon as the window was closed,
the noise Of the train naturally sub
sided and it's speed seemed to dimin-
ish, and my plan appealed to me
stronger than eyer.
I knew the guard in front of me
didn't understand a word of English,
and so, in a quiet tone of voice, con-
ided to the English officer who sat
next me what l had planned to do.
"For Gods sake, Pat, chuck it," he
urged. Don't be Il fanatic! This rail-
road is double-tracked and rock-bal-
lasted and the other track is on your
side. You stand every chance in the
world of knocking your brains out
against the rails, or hitting bridge or
a whistling post, and if you escape
those you will probably be hit by an
other train on the other track. You
haven't one chance in a thousand to
make itw
There was good deal of logic in
what he said, but figured that once /

naming a prisoner of war indefinitely

take my chance now at the risk Of
breaking my neck.
The car was full Of smoke. looked
across at the guard. He was rather an
old man. going home on leave, and he
seemed to be dreaming Of what was in
store for him rather than paying any
particular attention to me. Once in a
while had smiled at him, and l figured
that he hadn't the slightest idea Of
what was going through my mind all
the time we had been travelling.
began to cough as though my throat
was badly irritated by the smoke and
then opened the window again. This
time the guard looked up and showed
his disapproval. but did not say any,
thing.
It was then 4 o'clock in the morn

had to do it right then, or never, as
there would be no chance to escape In
the daytime.

two pieces of bread, piece Of sau-
