and Aneta then commented that
there were conflicting reports of
DR.. Reydon's fate.

1t. Schultz was leading q scouting

foothills to surround them.
There was only one thing to do
and we did it." 1t. Schultz said. I'VE
pulled off our shoes and socks and
sneaked right past them up the hill
as they were coming down. We
spent the rest of the night sneaking
past their outposts.
Once during the night we crept
right into the middle of their motor
park, but didn't know 1t until we
were right in among the tanks. We
sneaked right out again without dis
turbing them"
At a.m.-l0 hours after the bare
foot party began the hazardous
night journey-they reached Amer
