The Tea That Never Disappoints jI

How Twenty.Nine British Officers
Escaped From HoIzrninden
PART II.
Then the problem of ventilating
• the passage presented itself. As the
head of the tunnel was advanced fur-
. ther and further from the shaft, the
air became proportionately worse.
There seemed to be no feasible me-
thod of forcing fresh air to the dig-
gers. �Woiek was stopped until Lieut.

And anothero€fi.er found
tame to ggt't,„sc• eral electrtr funs: and
two"'ear pumps from the prison store-
_ room.
Up to that time men cutting the
tunnel worked in _complete darkness
and it is possible that the task would
have been finished without lights ,of
any kind had not the matter of pro-
viding ventilation forced / itself on
them.
Once it became necessary, to pro-
vide energy for the operation of the
air pumps and fans, however, the of-
ficers lost no time in "tappitzg" the
prison: lighting. ' cireiu<t, thereby. ob-
tatning eurrent • for ventilating
that was necessary and t t- illumina-
tion that was a- luxury.
The .fans and pumps -and. a dozen
incandescent bulbs were arranged in
place end wires carrying current
were led into the tunnel and' connect-
: ed to them. The vibration of the
pumps and the whirr' of the fans,
it was first feared, would betray the
tunnel operations to the.- guards sta-
tioned on the surface above. To keep
tlt apparatus from letting the entire
camp . know that -a miniature imita-
a-city-subway---was• ieing
structed, the bearings were kept well
oil soaked. Even then, in the con-
fined underground passage, the noise
of the machinery of the pump and the
• hum of the fans was deafening al-
most, and.. for a . breathless half hour
that followed the turning on of the
current the officers at work waited
•
•
•
for the discovery -that seemed almost
certain.
But the German sentries noticed
nothing unusual. Shifts were chang-
ed regularly and that head of the
passage was pushed nearer and near-
er to the mall of the prison enclosure.
By the .end of -the fourth month
the work had progressed to a dis-
tance of one hundred and fifty feet.
The danger of the walls and roof cav
ing in was imminent. Wood • for

the risk was too great to make the

accordingly. -
The. eighth month .found the tun-

You probably can think of houses
that as a child you either liked or dis-

subdued and unwelcome in a dark
cold 'room furnished with slippery
haircloth chairs,' although they cannot
tell why.
Many of us grown-ups are so oc-
cupied with other affairs that we do
not give our home atmosphere much
consideration; but, even if we are not.
,consciously affected by it, every
stranger or friend who comes'Tnto
