dress on 1t, still blindfolded. They
then asked more questions about
my family.
BY this time was properly
confused and wondered whether
I had not fallen into some
friendly underground organiza-
ton. 1t all seemed a little too
cosy for the sort of treatment
U. N. flyer would get In the
first few hours after being shot
down by a MIG while flying q
patrol over North Korea.
Recrosses Yalu.
Half an hour passed and I
was taken out of the shack and
put into another truck. After
driving for about four hours
over very bumpy roads we pulled
into a large city which ! later
found to be Antung. a large in
dustrial town in Northeast China
on the north bank Of the Yalu
River, There I was transferred
to a jeep containing another
driver, an interpreter and q
guard. IA
M We started off again and Id
about 10 minutes went over b
bridge which i later discovered
cIpssed the Yalu. About 10 miles
south OF the river, in North
Korea, the jeep stopped and I
was guided into q fairly large
house.

the bed had been removed and
the mattress OF woven straw
and, the blanket were on the
floor. On the third day the in
terrogation was repeated. Some
thing new, however. was added.
I had no identification. since
had lost my q. N. identity card
when ] bailed out Of my plane.
"Since you have no identifica-
tion," said the Interpreter.
"there is no way for you to prove
you are q flyer. Unless you can
prove the contrary, we viii con-
slider you to be . spy. and you
know what happens to spies"
"It really doesn't matter
whether you consider me q spy
or a prisoner Of war;" said at
last, because ] know you intend
to kill me anyway. And / would
appreciate It If you would take
me out and get IL over quickly" !"
"Things Worse Than Death"
/ said this not with any sense
Of bravado or attempt to draw
them out but because I had been
led to believe that no prisoners
of war taken by the Chinese
Korean side to this point had
ever returned. Some fellows had
escaped from interme diats
points. But so far as ] had
learned during my stay with the
Americans, no prisoner had ever
come back from q genuine Chi-
neses prisoner-of-war camp. The
feeling was that the Chinese did
not keep many prisoners.
The Chinese officer looked me
in the face and declared: There
are things much worse than
death"
He motioned me to be taken
away, saying: Think about that
for a while"

MANA Photo.

My blindfold was removed and
I found myself in q small room
which contained a wooden bed,
a straw mattress and a padded
cotton suit. I was told I was in
Korea and to go to sleep. My
captors departed, leaving one
man on guard outside the room.
Although / was under quite q
strain, I managed to drop of
to sleep. When I awoke. 1t was
daylight and the guard was
brining my breakfast, q bowl OF
rice and some stewed vegetables.
But I couldn't eat. There were
no windows in the room so !
sat around looking at the walls.
Asked Shout Germ Warfare.
An interpreter came In with
copies Of q magazine In English,
but apparently printed in China.
1t was called Peoples China.
The leading article was about
germ warfare. When he handed
me the magazine, he opened it
to an article about q group Of
European scientists who had
investigated" the germ warfare
charges and said:
"What do you think of this?"
I replied: II expected to see
this kind of propaganda" and
threw the book down on the
bed. He didn't appear angered

/ by my action but shrugged his
shoulders and walked out.
An hour later the guard
opened the door and beckened
me into another room. Seated
behind q desk was what I as
sumed was a Chinese officer. Be-
side him sat an interpreter.
what are you doing here?"
the ofilcer demanded.
MY name is Mackenzie, my
rank is squadron-leader and my
number Is 19704."
This somewhat irrelevant re-
ply was-according to the Cen
eva convention groyerning pris-
oners Of was-all the informa-
ton that could legally be asked
Of me; My interrogation grinned
and said: "Of course we must
know more than that. We want
to know how you got here?"
II am not going to answer any
questions beyond my name, rank
and number" ! told him, and
demanded that the Canadian
government be notified of my
capture.
He replied that would all be
looked after later when you
make your case clear" The in
terpreter continued to IRE ques-
tions at me but I sat mum and
wouldn't answer. After Q few
minutes Of this, the officer
seemed to get annoyed and dis
missed me with q motion Of his
hand. The guard took me back
to the other room.
Next morning I was inter-
rogated again. This time they
asked me why I would not tell
them what they wanted to know.
I said nothing. They hammered
at me for half an hour before
they decided to give up and send
me back to my room. They were
obviously angry but never laid
a hand on me.
However, when I returned to
my bedroom this time. ! found

The soldiers who were my cap

placed a bowl Of rice in my
hands. There were other soldiers
In the room. one of whom could
speak a little English. He said:

the blindfold. but they pulled my
hands away. I plunged my fists
into the bowl and had "a rice

Over the top of my blindfold

captor came over and said I

was for about an hour.
