Isobel's visit to Sidi-bel-Abbes to look

So great was my longing to see :her,
that, had I been alone, I really think
that I should, at times, have toyed
with the idea of "going on pump,"
"making the promenade," •which all
legionnaires continually c4scuss and
frequently attempt. This "going on
pump," whatever that may mean, is
the Legion name for desserting, and
generally consists in slow preparation
and swift capture, or a few days'
thirst -agony in the desert„ and igno-
minioes return, or 'else in unspeakable
torture and mutilation at the hands of
the Arabs.
Less than one in a hunched' succeeds
in escaping, for, in addition to the

Sometimes he would, go himself to

I think he would have given a
month's pay to have, succeeded iri
goading one of them into striking him.
It was my constant fear that Buddy
would do so. And daily we dinned
this into their ,ears, and prayed that
something of the sort would 9ot hap-
pen. However, they -were old' soldiers
and wily Americans.
And so as the months passed, and
every week I heard from my darlIng.
