Riding slowed away in the coal the
correspondent succeeded in evading a
strong Gordon of carabineers which
travelled on the train to prevent any
one from making his way into the city.
The correspondent kept himself buried
in the coal from the time the train left
Giordano until It reached Fiume.
All passenger cars were unlocked

the trip to Fiume. The correspondent
learned that this was the procedure to be
followed before he left Trieste.
Hears Heated Argument.
The carabineers kept the strictest
watch at Albazia. where the D'Annunzio
line ends. There were at least zoo OF
them at the station when the train
stopped there. and It seemed to the
hidden Associated Press correspondent
as II whole hour had passed while
heated arguments went on in his plain
hearing presumably between D'Annun-
zio volunteers and the carabineers, the
former trying to run the gauntlet and
enter Fiume
The correspondent knew he had at last
reached Fiume when he again looked out
and saw the lighthouse throwing its
beams across the harbor. Deep silence
brooded over the city as the train slowly
made its way into the station. There
the correspondent alighted and found
several volunteer soldiers who also hal
managed to avoid the carabineers. Ore
youth said he had travelled forty-three
hours without sleeping or eating TO get
to Fiume
When the engineer and trainmen saw
the men they had brought into the city
they laughed heartily and shouted viva
Fiume !" Viva DAnnunzio!" Then the
correspondent went in search of a hotel
and found Fiume sound asleep. He got
a room and retired, but at 2 80 in the
morning was awakened by detail OF
twelve guards, headed by a Lieutenant,
who asked for passports. In the guard
were two carabineers who had Joined the
D'Annunzio forces. After carefully
scrutinixing the correspondents pass
ports the Lieutenant begged his pardon
for having aroused him at such an hour
and then passed on.
