l f anyone is inti related. in Aeries
of the war, thousands of them can
be collected; for although little is
left on the secret list, only a small
percentage of the stories have ev-
er .btlen told, in print at any rate.
The chief warden of a large area,
almost entirely rural, recounted
some of his experiences, and even
got out some of his: records to give
some figures -
It was in his district that one
"of the most fantastic incidents of
the war happened. It has appear-
ed in.print "before,. but is worth
telling again. A' parachute -laid
mine wsa dropped one night, and
the 'parachute. caught on the chim-
ney of a large mansion. A maid
in the 'house was not able to sleep
all that night on account of the
noise of something scraping an the
wall outside her window, but she
never got up to see what was caus-
ing the noise. The next morning
it was discovered that a land mine,
10 feet long, was hanging from its
parachute caught on the chimney,
and it was this mine,.swinging
back and forth, that had kept her
awake.
Almost as fantastic was a simi-
lar incident when a land mine fell
in a narrow space between two
hay stacks, and the parachute held
the mine off the ground.
The wardens and their staffs
bad a most efficient system by
which they were advised of every-
thing that happened in their terri-
tory, and were able to get to any
spot in a remarkably short space
of time. They were also kept ad -
visci at progress in other areas:
One night this warden, was call
ed to a house that hast been bomb-

house, An. .assistant cavae Up to
report that. it w.as impossible' -to
