"Tennessee Boy Swims the Rhine to Swiss Soil After Days of Tramp
ing Through Enemy Country Seventy -Americans in Con- ;
certed Effort to Escape From Prison Three Get Through
Swiss Give Tham Kindly Welcome. ,
w
" Somewhere In Frnnce. Seventy
Americans In the German prison camp
at Vllllngen, Germany, made a desper
ate and concerted attempt to escape
nn ihP jitsrht of Sunday.-October G. So
far tbrto men have crossed the border.!
The first Is Lieutenant Aviator t.eorfct
Wright Puryenr of Memphis, Tenn. (
Puryear swam across the Ithtne to
Swiss soil early in the morning of
October 11. Two days later Harold
Willis of floston, a former Lafayette
escadrllle flyer who was captured at
Vorduu in August. 1017, and Naval
Lieutenant Kdouard Isaacs of Ports
mouth, Vn., escaped Into Switzerland.
Only a few days previously, on Oc
tober 9, the first American soldier to
escape from a. German prison camp
into Switzerland arrived nt lied Cross
headquarters in Berne. He was Frank
Sovickl of Shenandoah, Pn., a Polish
American who enlisted a few days nf
"ter America declared war. Puryear
was the first American officer to es
cane from Germany.
On June 20, while patrolling near
. Ville Neuve sur Fere, about four kilo
meters southwest of Fere en Tlirde
nois. Puryear'engaged an enemy ma
chine In combat. The fight carried
him unawares into the German lines.
Purvear shot down his adversary,
mortally wounding the observer of the
German machine. Seeing one of his
'adversaries was badly wounded, and
believing himself In nllled territory,
Puryenr descended, Intending to re
move one or both of the aviators as
prisoners to on American hospital.
Such descents in allied territory to aid
a badly wounded adversary have been
a part of the knightly code of the air.
Captured by Germans. j
Upon lauding and before he could
burn his machine Puryear was cap
tured by German troops, who were in
hiding. The German pilot of tte ma
chine whom he had descended to carry
to a hospital Insisted that .he bo shot
at once for "shooting at a wounded
man" the .bserver of the German
plane.
. After his capture Puryear was tak
en to a hospital which was also nn
intelligence examining post. He was
kept there for three hours. From the
hospital Puryear was taken to-a cas
tle, where he was again examined by
an intelligence officer.
Next day he was marched, again
alone, ten kilometers behind the lines
' to another intelligence post, where he
. was once more examined. On the fol
lowing day, .with fifteen captured
Americans "of the Twenty-sixth .divi
sion and about 200 French soldiers, he
was taken to Laon.
At each stop intelligence officers ex
amined him. .
On. August 2 Lieutenant Puryear was
taken to Rastatt prison camp. On
August 5 he escnped.with Andre Con-
reau, a French aviator. August 0 and
7 they spent !n tne woods. At 5 a.
m. on .the morning f August 8, how
ever, fie'y ran plump 'into a Gorman
sentinel. They were taken under
guard to Kehl, where they were given
a good' meal. Two guards accompa
nied thonl back to Itestatt, where Fur
year was imprisoned five days. Later,
when he was transferred to Vllllngen,
Puryear served nine more days of the
fourteen-day sentence Imposed on him
for trying to escape.
Makes Break for Liberty.
On August 13 Puryear was trans
ferred to Karlsruhe, the concentration
camp for all prisoners, where he
Stayed until August 19. He was then
taken to I.nndshut on a closely guard
ed train, together with a number of
Koyn! Flying corps aviators. At
Karlsruhe the. British and American
aviators were separated. The Amerl-
nni ivprn ulneoil in a cntnp which
had been used as n quarantine camp
and where they were vaccinated
against typhus, cholera and smallpox.
Bin-year was kept nt Landsliut from
August 1 to September 14. During
bis stay he applied for a transfer to
Vllllngen, where a number of Ameri
can pilots were confined, lie was re-
.moved there on September 15. After
nine days In jail at Uiungen i ur
yenr was released. . Six days later, on
the night of Sunday. October 0, Pur
year made his second and successful
attempt to escape.
Puryear had planned to escape with
one other companion. . Aviator Willis,
however, asked him to postpone his
attempt for eovernl days, as a dozen
Americans had been planning to es
cape for some time nnd It was feared
that If Puryear failed the. general
breakout might be nipped In the bud.
Puryear and his companion agreed
and preparations were made for the
escape. Ladders were made ready, win
dows and bars cut out. and one
American made, it possible to short
circuit the string of powerful elective
lights which surrounded the prison
enmp and which burned all night to
prevent escapes. The jail ueuvery sj
planned for Sunday night, nnd the
Americans agreed to break out at sev
eral places, so as to keep the guards
busy. . ,
At 10:30 Sunday night the guards
turned out the lights in the prison
camp. This was the signal for all the
men to make their final preparations.
At 10 A5 the lights outside the prison
camp were short-circuited by one of
the Americans. From three Ides, of
the barracks the American uvmiu
and prisoners made their dash for lib
erty. v
Fired on by Guards.
Immediately the German guards
blew their whistles nnd cocked their
guns. Surrouuding the barrncks was
a low barbed wire fence, and beyond
that a deep ditch with barbed wire
entanglements in It. Still further was
n ten-foot fence with hwoks facing
inward alone the top. Outside this
fence we're the guards with rilles
awaiting. Puryear, Isaacs, Willis and
their comnanlons had to run this gnnt-
let, after getting through the barred
windows of the barracks.
The Denalty of being caught in the
wire was death. Only a few days be
fore in the general breakout a Rus
sian had been caught In the wire and
instnntlv ktlled. Puryenr climbed
over all obstacles and put his ladder
nn against the fence. As he leaped
m-w the fence firing began. His com
panion had his foot on the lower round
of the ladder as ruryear went oei.
Once outside the barracks Puryeur
found himself between two guarus
Both shouted at him to halt. Strictly
.niinK to orders they shouted
three ilrnos to him to stop.
Six shots were fired in all point
blank at Puryear. The guards, how
ever, were old men and their aim was
hurl. At the time they fired one guard
was 20 feet off and the other 50 feet
.wnv. Just as the second volley was
fired at him Puryear stumbled and fell
In n ditch." He believes he would have
been wounded or killed by these shots
if Iip bad not fallen.
As had been previously arranged
Puryear waited at a prearranged point
i,is enmrmnion. When the latter
not arrive after lo minutes wait-
In;?, Puryear went nlone. While he
waited Puryenr heard the guards fire
.vfvnl score rounds, lie nau now re
covered his strength' and made good
progress. That night he went -lo Kilometers.
Puryear carwfully guarded

dug out of the fields while rtiuklug
his way. toward the frontier.
The next daj Puryear spent In the

had memorized every detail of It. Just
before day broke he met two men go
liiif tn work. He avoided them, but
i,itr was unable to avoid a lone civil
inn . wiui ,iiiim1 hlni. but who Filld

The next nlglit Puryenr took up his
long Journey toward Wnldshut, Co klloi
meters away.
The third dav It rained heavily nil
day and Puryenr picked out a smnll
barn and climbed through a window
on.i ti,.,,.r, nt nn t. the loft. The
owner or the barn nnd his hired
bands moved farm machinery auoui
In the stable below, but did not come
upstnlrs. That night the rain lessent-u
and Puryenr continued his Journey.
In the darkness he took the wrong
. ... n ..
road, a mountain road wiucn uuunj
ended In a trail and then ceased alto
gether. For three hours he stumbled
about on a mountain toplu sleet and
snow, tearing His nanus aim nu-
brambles and making but little prog
ress in the brush nnd cutover tlmncr.
Finally he struck another road which
he followed until daylight. With the
dawn ho again took refuge in mo
woods.
All that day he spent poring .over
his maps, endeavoring to locate i

decided upon his course. That night
ho struck a tributary of the Rhine and
followed It to where it crossed uia
main road leading fo Widshut. When
he struck the main road Puryear
found a sign reading: "Waidshut

within a few miles of Waidshut. In
order to be sure of his directions no
climbed to the top of a mountain
nearby from which he could see trib
utaries entering the Rhine. Puryeai
also was supplied with a view of Wnld
shut which he carefully compared with
the town below.
Puryear planned to cross the Rhino
nt the nolnt where the current strikes
the north shore and then rebounds, to
Hie south bank. He figured Upon De
irg carried by the current across to
tv,Q shore. For six hours he
carefully watched the shore for the
nppearance of sentries, but no one
having passed the spot he had chosen

lie crawled to the river edge, took
off all his clothes except his shirts
and underwear and trousers and dip-'
ped into the icy stream. The strong
current Immediately swept him down
stream nt a terrific rate. Dangerous
whirlpools and currents abound In this
vicinity.
After half an hour's alternate swim
ming and floating the ley water began
to affect the young aviator.
"I thought it was about all ovef
with me," said Puryear. "I became
dizzy and fought hard to be uble to
distinguish the shore I had left from
the-Swlss side. About thirty feet from
ii.o bank m.v hand in swimming
touched rock, but before 1 could pull
myself up the strong current
wrenched me back into the deep water
ain.
"I was fast becoming weaker and
weaker. The banks were rocky anil
.steep and I could wit get a hand hold
anywhere. I feared that I would be
lost at the last moment. Finally 1
grasped a projecting rock and hung on
to it until I recovered my strength iu
part. Tlu-n I climbed up and out ot
the water and fell down exhausted.
For several minutes I lay there weak
and trembling with the cold and fear.
"I had been carried far below
Waidshut. Along the snore ran a
railroad and I. knocked at the first
crossing keeper's cabin. The latter
when lie learned that I was an Ameri
can, greeted me warmly, took off my
wet-clothes, chafed my trembling legs
and gave hie n' stiff glass of brandy.
Then, ns it was time for breakfast, the
crossing keeper routed his children out
of bed and the two kids and myself ate
hot milk and bread from the same
bowl. .
"Later I was taken to a military
post where the Swiss ofileers kindly
cave me dry clothing. At Zurich
Swiss officers paid my hotel bills and
gave me a civilian's outfit from head
to foot. I cannot thank th8 Swiss W
thnrlties and civilians too much for
their kindnesses to me. At Rhelnfel
der the Swiss frontier officer exam
lned me and then telephoned to th
American embassy at Berne." ,

the -Moerae one day, holding Jack Wat
son's thread of life in one band ami
Esther Richards' In the other. ".My,
how far apart they have drifted," she
murmured. "This will never do, I
have decided differently."
Jack was leaning buck in his swivel
chair with his feet-on his desk, in his
own real estate office in Melbourne,
Australia. Was he thinking about
Esther? Decidedly not. His mind was
full of business,' of how to travel still
farther on the path of prosperity,
which he already had found.
Esther was reclining on a lounge in
her home in Vancouver, reading a Red
Cross magazine.. Ild Jack bold any
place in her thoughts? No, not even a
small comer. They had forgotten about
each other, as I have said.
That evening Jack went to the Mel
bourne ISusliiess club for dinner with
three olher prosperous young business
men, all of them married. When the
meal was finished the conversation
turned to matrimony.
"How comes It you never prot mar
ried, Jack?" asked George Cliliord as
he passed cigars. "You're old enough
and have enough coin to make some
girl comfortable and happy."
Jack laughed as be lighted the weed.
' "Xot me," he said as he puffed plac
idly. "I'll never get married. I'm go
ing to be n hermit. Io you know, fid
lows, it's a fact that I've never been
Interested a bit In (lie fair sex.' I in
all for business. I'm sincerely opposed
to marriage for myself, at least."
Clifford, who was five years older,
looked over the rims of his glasses
with a slight grimace and Inquired:
"Don't you believe In love? Don't
you believe that every one was made
for some one?"
Another laugh, this time louder and
longer, from Jack.
"I should say not 1" he retorted.
"There's no such thing as love. Mar
riage Is a matter of business. Wh;n a
fellow hasn't enough sense to save his
money, he needs n woi'i::n to h'-Vi him :
and If he gets the right kind lie's j:ll
