From the kick-off the Ber wick had matters much their own way until almost well into the second half. Heavier in the phek they secured, the ball almost in- variably, but put it to little ad- vantage.

Other unconventional acts free ly discussed in the book give one the impression that life in a Sai- gor Prison is 'eventful-and. niso diverting for those on the right side of the bars. As an instance of Gaulie humour, one is told that a favourite pastime of a very playful warder was to make the prisoners cling to the tops of the, grilles. The stage being set, the official would then stroll along, "Carrying a rolled-up mat. Then after the fashion of big-game hunt. ing, he would point the improvised gun at the man clinging to the iron bars and gave vent to an utterance resembling the sound of a gun dis- charge. That would be the signal for the "game" to drop; and he was forced to do so however reluctant to carry out his part in the warder's "sport"
