Gravely Tobaee Company DurrUla, Virginia landed In about two fet of water ana three of uiud. (letting out of that nine was quite s Job. The water was too dirt and too scanty to enable me to wash off the mud with which I was covered and It was too wet to scrape off. I Just had to wait until It dried and scrape It off then. In many sections of Belgium through which I bad to pass 1 eu countered large sites of swamp and marshy ground and rather than waste the time Involved In looking for better underfootlug which I might not have found anyway I used to pole right through the mud. Apart from the discomfort of this method of travel ing and the slow time I made, there waa an added danger to me In the fact that the "squash, squssh" noise which I made might easily be overheard by Belgians and Germans and give my powltlon awsy. Nobody would cross a swamp or marah In that part of the country onlesa he was trying to get .way from somebody, and I realised my danger but could not get around It. It was a common sight In Belgium to see small donkey and common ordinary milch cow hitched together. pulling a wagon. Whea I Orst on served the unusual combination, I thought It was a donkey and ox or bull, but closer Inspection revealed to me that cows were being used for the purpose. From that I was able to observe there must be very few horses left in Belgium except those owned by the Germans. Cows and donkeys sre now horses and mules. Altogether I spent nearly eight weeks wandering through Belgium, and In all that time I don't believe I saw more than half a dosen horses In the possession of the native population. One of the scarcest things in Ger many, apparently, is rubber, for 1 noticed that their motor trucks, or lor ries, unlike our own, had no rubber tires. Instead heavy iron bands were employed. I could hear them come rumbling along the stone roads for miles before they reached the spot where I happened to be In hlldlng. When I saw these military roads In Belgium for the first time, with their heavy cobblestones that looked as if they would last for centuries, I real ised at once why it waa that the Ger mans bsd been able to make such a rapid advance Into Belgium at the start of the war. I noticed that the Belgians used dogs to a considerable extent to pull their carts, snd I thought many times that IV I could have atolen one of those dogs It would have been a very good companion for me and might. If the occnslon arose, help me out In a fight. But I had no wsy of feeding It and the animal would probably have starved to death. I could live on veg etables, which I could always depend upon finding In Uie fields, but a dog couldn't, and so I gave up the Idea. The knack of making fire with two pieces of dry wood I had often read about, but I had never put It to a test and for various reasons I concluded that It would be unsafe for me to build a fire, even If I had matches. In the first place, there was no absolute need for it. I dldnt nave anything to cook nor utensils to cook It In even If I bad. While the air was getting to be rather cool at night, I was usu ally on the go at that time and didn't notice It In the daytime, when was resting or sleeping, the sun was usually out. To have borrowed matches from lielglan peasant would have been feas ible, but when I was willing to take the chance of approaching anyone, It was Just as easy to ask for food as matches. It the second place, It would have been extremely ; dangerous to have built a fire even If I had needed It You can't build a fir In Belgium, which Is the most thickly populated country In Europe, without everyone knowing It, and I was far from anx ious to advertising my whereabouts. The villages In that part of Bel- glum through which I was making my course were so close together tnat there was hardly ever an hour passed without my hearing some clock strike. Every village haa Its clock. Many times I could hear the clocks striking In two villages at the same time. But the hour had very little Interest to me. My program was to travel as fast as I could from sunset to sunrise and Day no attention to the hours In between, and In the daytime I had only two things to worry about: keep concealed and get as much sleep at possible. The cabbage that I got In Belgium consisted of the small heads that tje peasants bad not cut. All the strer had concentrated In these little ' neatig and they would be as bitter v y j would have to be pretty r u t0. day before I could ever t bage again and the same oJ.erVt.tIon ap plies to carrots, tnyQ, Bnd ,ugar beets--espectally at It la rather a iVmarkabie thing that today even a sr of tTirriips, raw or cooked, make me and yet , t ew short monT llfe depended upon ther NlgbJ afJer nlght M 1 aerfrched for food, 1 wa8 Riways in nopes that I m',v.it come upon scone tomatoes or f iery vegetables which. . I really liked, but with the e kceptlon of once, when I found some ccllery, I waa never so fortunate. I ate so much of the Celery the night, I crime upon It that I was sick for 'two! Cays thereafter, but I carried sever il bunches away with me and used t chew on It as I walked along. , Of course, I kept, my eyes open all the time for frultlq fcesxbutappaiently. ? It was tod late in the yea? for fruit, as all that I ever was able to find were two pears, which I got out of a tree. That wss one of my red-tetter days. but I was never able to repeat it In the brooks snd ponds that I passed I often noticed fish of different kinds. That was, either in the early morning Just before I turned In for the day, or on moonlight nights wnea the water seemed as dear In spots as In the daytime. It occurred to me that It would be simple matter to rig book and Una and catch some fish, but I had no means of cooking them and it was nseless to fish for the sake of It One night In Belgium my course took me through a desolate stretch of country which seemed to be absolutely uncultivated. I must have covered twelve miles during the night without passing a single farm or cultivated field. My stock of turnips which I bsd picked the night before was gone and I planned, of course, to get enough to carry me through the following day. The North Star was shining brightly that night and there was absolutely nothing to prevent my steering an ab solutely direct course for Holland and liberty, but my path seemed to lie through arid pastures. Far to the east or to the west I could bear faintly the striking of village bells. and I knew that if I changed my course I would undoubtedly strike farms and vegetables, but the Norta Bur seemed to plead with me to fol low it and I would not turn aside. When daylight came, the conse quence wss I was empty banded and I bad to find a hiding placs) for the day. I thought I would approach the first pesssnt I came to and ask for food. but that day I bad misgivings hunch that I would get Into trouble if I did. and I decided to go without food altogether for that day. It was a foolish thing to do, I found. because I not only suffered greatly from hunger all that day, but it inter fered with my sleep. I would drop off to sleep for half an hour, perhaps, and during that time I would dream that I was free, back home, living a life of comparative ease, and then I would wake ud with a start and eaten glimpse of the bashes surrounding me, feel the herd ground beneatn me and the hunger pangs gnawing at my sides, and then I would realise how far from home I really waa, and I would He there and wonder whether I would ever really nee my home again. Then I would fan asleep again and dream this time, perhsps of the days I spent In Courtrak or my leap from the train Window, of the Bava rian pilot whom 1 sent to eternity In mv last air flehtJof my tracer bullets getting closer and closer to bis neaa, and then I would wake up again with atnrt anil thank- the Lord that I WSB only dreaming It all again instead of 11 vicar throusb ill That nleht I sot an early start be cause I knew I had to have food, ana I decided that rnthr than look for vegetables I would titke a chance and apply to the first Belgian peasant whom I came to, . It was about 8 o'clock whfcn I came to a small house. I Itad picked up a heavy stone snd had bound it in my handkerchief and I wra resolved to use It as a weapon If It became necessary. After aU I had gone through, I was resolved to win my 'liberty eventually at whatever cost As It happened, I fovnd that night the first real friend. I had encountered in all my travelin g.
