We Just Walked

Captain
THIRTY-SIX British seamen of the steamer North Cornwall and 34 men from other ships who were cap- tured by the Germans at Narvik escaped by a simple trick; they just walked away from their guards.
Captain Charles Evans, master of the North Corn- wall, who returned to his home in Northumberland, said that during the British attack they were put ashore with two armed Germans in charge.
"It was snowing hard and bitterly cold," he added. "I asked our guards for permission to march the men up and down to save them from freezing to denth. They agreed.
