ST. CYPRIEN NUTS HAD
SIEVE-LIKE WALLS

At the end Of two weeks at Ls
Vigeant, the German advance
again caused us to be moved. this
time to st. Cyprien, on the Medi-
terranean. St. cyprien, built for
tens of thousands OF loyalist refu-
gees who fled 10 France after the
Spanish civil war, consists OF end
less rows Of wooden huts built
right on the beach. II Is sur
rounded by four eonoentrie rows
of barbed wire.
st. Cyprien had been empty for
several months when We arrived
about $500 of us from lie Vigeant
and twice that many from other
camps in the active zone. Rain and
sand, whipped by the powerful
gusts of the Mediterranean Seas
mistral, poured through the walls
as through netting. The floors OF
our shacks were sand. but II was
often more comfortable for sleep
ing than straw.
With all its discomforts. St Cy-
prien was an improvement over lie
Vigeant We had waters hand
pump for every four shacks. The
food was better and . bit more
plentiful-only three people to split
one bread each day. At night we
sometimes had Argentine frozen

lie Vigeant was only half built
when we arrived. The windows Of
the brick barracks were just gap
ing holes, without glass. and there
was not enough straw TO cover
the concrete floors that we slept
on. Soon after we arrived, all our
papers and money and saluables
were taken away. II was lucky
that most OF us had hidden some
