was sent to the prison camp at
Broussa. Mile. ~" with her maid,
followed him. She stayed at n small
hotel on the pretence of taking the
sulphur baths for which Broussa was
famous
During her first few days at
Broussa she haunted the roads where
the British officers were taken for
walks by their guards. Twice she
manTuNred to get a few words with
the Colonel, but this method of meet
ing began to attract attention and
was altogether too dangerous.
The next plan of rendezvous was
rather novel. Col. ~" told the lady
TO see the manager of n local German
bank on some trumped up matter Of
business. He himself while shopping
in the bazaar, bribed guard to take
him TO the bank. where he walked into
the managers private room and asked
n question about getting money trans
ferred from England. Mile. tx" was
already there. and the pair were able
to talk for several minutes.
The fourth meeting was even more
novel. Mile. tx" remembered that she
had been to school with the daughter
Of the Austrian Consul. ana lot the
Colonel know that sAn would be visit
ing them on Il certain afternoon. lie
thereupon bluffeI his guard into the
belief that the Austrian Consul wHs a
Turkish official. and at the time
agreed upon himself called at the Con-
sulate The Consul was present and
seemed TO guess at the device; but he
laughed and was sportsman enough
not to interfere with what he thought
was merely n ruse for a frinedly rem
devious.
But n more private interview was
essential before the final plons could
he made. One evening Col. ~" who
had managed TO obtain tho clothes
OF an Arab priest. disguised himself in
this dress AM slipped out 90 camp
unobserVed. He walked two miles. bv
moonlight to Mile. ms" hotel. and in
long talk the scheme of escape was
definitely arranged. He then returned
and by climbing over n wall. got back
into the prison house without being
| seen.
Mile. TX" left Broussa for CONSTANT
nople. On the way she stopped at Mu-
DANA (the port of Broussa) and bar
gained with two Greek boatmen, who
agreed to take the Colonel across the
Sea of Msrmora TO the capital. From
/ Coastantinople she had letter SNUG.

tho hoatmen might be recognized.

stowaways.
Just about this time a Turkish spy
saw Capt. White and myself visiting
one of my newly made friends, while
the guard, who had been bribed for the
purpose, remained outside the house.
Al a result We were turned out Of the
hospital next morning and sent to the
prison camp at Psamatia, In a few
days time we wero told we would be
sent back to Asia Minor, SO that We
had to act quickly. We fixed the morn
ing of August 90 for our escape and
travelled to Constantinople with guards
on the pretence Of going to see a
dentist.
By the grace OF God, Just before we
were ready to make our attempt the
train on which we were travelling col
lided with another train. Taking ad-
vantage of this heaven-sent oppor-
tunity, We both jumped during the
confusion.

Inside was a Greek waitress, who
smiled. 1 slipped into the cafe, placed
myself in a corner and, speaking hur-
riedly in French, asked the waitress to
stand in front of me. Being told by
her a few minutes later that the field
was clear, I lodged out again, and
without showing any undue haste that
would attract attention walked up the
steps leading from the ferry stage to
the bridge. To my great relief. l was
not followed, and I disappeared into
the city.
The place OF rendezvous for the
man who had agreed to hide US was
German beer house in the Grande Rue
de Galata. I entered the beer house,
sat down, ordered glass of beer and
waited. I stayed over an hour and
drank three more glasses OF beer. but
still the man l was expecting did not
arrive. The proprietress-an enor-
mously fat German woman-came to
my table and began talking in
German.
"You look very hot" she said.
Have you been running?"
! NO, madam, have been walking in
