We determined to try.
Clipson was to go to the right, Hommat in the center, and myself to the left.

We all slipped through, without a shot.

Our rendezvous was to be the center of a small swamp, through which flowed a small stream that supplied the prisoners with water.

Hommat and I got together soon after passing the guard lines, and we began signaling for Clipson.

We laid down by a large log that lay across the stream, and submerged our limbs and part of our bodies in the water, the better to screen ourselves from observation.
