the first place from Psamatia with the
help OF Miss W., a very plucky English
girl living in Constantinople. Paul,
disguised as an Arab. crossed the Sea
OF Marmora in a fishing boat. but was
retaken while making his way to the
Gulf of Enos.
Yeats-Brown meanwhile was living
in the capital disguised as a girl by
means of clothes lent him by Miss w.
He walked about quite openly for more
than a month. but finally he. too. was
captured. The Turkish police led him
to dungeon in the Black Hole of Con-
stantinople (by which name We knew
the Ministry OF War;, and there h.
rejoired Paul.
Last August there were in the Black
Hole about thirty British prisoners
who at times gave the dungeons an
individuality that was almost Anglo
Saxon. One day the officers, goaded TO
desperation by the hundreds of vermin,
carried their beds into the passage and
cleansed them by fire. There was a
rush OF armed men, swords and spurs
rang down the dark corridor, rifles
were clicked, but despite the guards
protests the cracking and splintering
OF wood continued, and the smell Of
burnt bugs mingled with the other
communications OF the prison.
Another time a sentry. used to deal
ing with terrified malefactors. hit a
British officer. The result must have
surprised him. II indeed he had time
to realize what happened. He was sent
to sleep for half an hour by a strong
punch under the jaw. Again there
was a scene-the fallen sentry. the
angry officer. tho guards glittering
bayonets, the hurried arrival of the
commandment. But nothing happened.
That incident. in fact. relieved the
tension OF captivity, for II happened
toward the end OF the war, and by way
of placating the British prisoners in
case their countrymen were victorious
the Turks decided to give them better
treatment. Thenceforth. instead of
being shut up like wild animals, with
minimum of air and exercise, the
captives in the Black Hole were al
loved out into the prison garden for
an hour each day.
Yeats-Brown and Paul Plan Esca pc
From this garden Yeats Brown and
Paul decided to escape. The most
feasible plan was to squeeze through
some iron ratings which overlooked a
big drop of a hundred and fifty feet
and 20 make their way along the rim
of an overhanging precipice until they
reached a printing house. whence
egress to the main square OF the Min
istry might be obtained.
| Opportunity came one evening at
twilight. when the pair were IN the
garden with the six sentries-ail

ranean peoples. What they said they
cannot remember, but Yeats Brown
thinks he spoke in staccato italian,
which Paul answered with Arabic i'm
precautions. Near the gate Yeats
Brown murmured passionately In
English:
"For Gods sake, turn your trousers
down." To his mind tuned up to the
intensity OF the moment, such an odd
ity of dress seemed certain to mean
detection.
They MinRIc With the Greeks.
Mingling with the Greeks who were
coming out of the restaurant they
came very, very leisurely to the SEN
try guarded gate. \ pass was neces-
sary both TO enter and to leave this
gate; but season ticket holders, so to
speak, were rarely asked to produce
their credentials.
AS the British officers reached the
gate one of the sentries took a pnce
forward as if TO ask a question. Then
he changed his mind. In that instant
faith almost faltered. However, the
pair resisted the temptation to quicken
their pace or to look around.
Unostentatiously they continued
toward the main square. Then the
man behind caught them up and
looked curiously into their faces. He
was a Turkish officer. They returned
his gaze with careful composure. After
hesitating a moment he went on to the
main gate, where he stopped and called
out the sergeant of the guard, TO whom
he gave some instructions. Obviously
these orders related to Yeats BROWN
and Paul, for the officer waved his
hand In their direction. Too tired or
too hurried to interrogate them him
self, he had almost certainly told the
sergeant OF his suspicious,
Time was now the most important
factor. At any moment the sentries
in the garden might raise a hue and
cry. The garage was some distance
away and a sentry stood over 1t. They
decided that 1t was not worth risking
their chance OF freedom for the sake
OF a car.
Yet they could not get out OF the
main gate. BY now they had reached
about the centre Of the square. The
only way out was through or over
some more ratings at the far side.
They found that owing TO narNow
epacing It was impossible to squeesS
through, as they had hoped. and that
IL was necessary to climb over the
ratings. This they did, feeling ter
ribly conspicuous in the rising moon
light. which might have made them
visible to the sentries at the outer
ga.a and IN the Dassers-by Of three
streets.
Two little girls stood outside the
ratings and watched the performances.
They clapped their hands heartily
when the pair arrived safely on the
pavement. No other persons. however.
stopped to look at them.
Walking quickly round a corner.
Yeats Brown and Paul boarded tram
to the European quarter OF Pera, called
on some friends arranged for a hiding
place. obtained false mustache apisos
and-went to the local movies,
