Escape: Planes Dropped

**DY the end, of. August,"
"B said Fred Hockey, of
Guernsey, "all this German business was getting a bit too thick."
He had been trapped in Guernsey when the Channel Islands were occupied at the end of June.
He had seen all the details of the German occupation of his own island, which he has already described to me.
"For one thing," he said, "the Germans started bring- Ing over their women to the island. They came by plane, and they came by boat.
"I think they were a picked lot, because they were all very well dressed, and they all spoke fluent English.
"It was extraordinary, by the way, how carefully the Germany had picked their people. Most of the soldiers not only spoke excellent Eng- lish, but the first lot that came knew the island itself as well as, or better than, I did:
WOMEN ARRIVE "Why, one day I was talk- ing to two English people, as I thought, outside my office. It was lucky I said nothing against-the-Germans, for it turned out that they were German, too--though nobody could have told it from their speech.
. "Once the German women came over, too, they started to try to turn the place into a sort of little Germany.
"Several hundred German women came over. And they wero all well dressed, and had plenty of money, and were en- joying themselves, while the Guernsey women who had stayed behind were beginning to face the problem, of finding enough for their men to cat.
"Then, quite a lot of little things made life just impossi- blc.
"For instance, there' was n very nico cafe on the esplan- ade at St Peter Port, where there was a jazz band, and so
on.
:
"One day my son, Harold, here, went into the cafe with a few friends and found it full of German waitresses.
"Harold ordered a cup of tea, and then some Germang came in, and the waitress. served them first. He never went near the place again.
"I's little things like that that make you boiling angry. As a matter of fact, they had to bring a lot of German wait- era and waitresses in, becauso the Guernsey people were re- fusing to wait on the Germans at all.
"In fact, just before we left, they were appealing for wait- ers in the hotels where the German officers were living. And none of the Guernsey people would take the job on. GETAWAY PLANS
Well, all these things were making the island impossible, when one day a friend of mine "named ⠀Bichard, 'a tomato
as told to DUDLEY BARKER
Krower, came up to me on the quiet and asked whether I knd ever thought of trying to escape to England.
"The news about England was better by then, because, in spite of the propaganda in our newspapers, we could still listen to the B.B.C. and find out what was really going on.
"As a matter of fact, the Germans were getting a bit worried about it too, I think.
"They certainly expected air raids, for they made every- body in the island provide a shelter, not only at his home, but at his work, too.
"And just before we got away. the Kommandant took over all the big yachts and launches, and had them filled with petról; so that they could stand by in readiness, in case they had to make a getaway.
"Bichard and I went to my house to talk things over, and we sat in the kitchen while he told me that he and a few friends could get hold of a 20- footer motor-boat, and be- tween them they could man- age to scrape together enough petrol to make the crossing.
"They wanted me to come, beenuse I had been a sailor for so long round the islands, and could take them across safely.
SECRET MEETINGS
"I agreed to do it, providing I could take my three sons who were left on the island. and Blchard agreed to that. He had three friends to go, so that made the number up to eight.
all met several times after that in my kitchen at night--we had, of course, in be very secret about it. We made all our plans,. and agreed to leave on a certain night in September, If things were favourable.

"The night arrived, and condi- tions were perfect. The night wan pitch dark, the tides were right.
"The motor-boat iny moored in Bordeaux Bay, well out, and

"At 10,30 Bichard and I left Arst. We had to cross a road that we know was patrolled by German senfries, but we armed ourselves. with heavy spanners and decided that, if we did meet a sentry, it was either him

"There we east off in a dinghy. taking the can of petrol each one of us was carrying-we had not dared to leave It in the motor- boat.
ALL ABOARD
"We got out to the motor-boat without attracting any attention, for the night, was pitch black, and dumped what little gear we had aboard.
Then we rowed back to a little Kroup

ye rowed them all out to the moter-boat, and crept aboard, mak- ing the dinghy fast. Then we cast off and two of us rowed the motor- boat to about half a mile from the island, where we caught the tide.
"We had to make every move- ment with the greatest care. ment
The feast little splash of the cars would have given everything away, for there were sentries all along the const.
"When we were in the tide we hoisted sail, but there was not wind enough, so we started to row again.
Then,
to our consternation, three German planes came over us from Guernsey, dropping dares on the water. Whether they knew of Our escape, and were looking for us, we shan't find out til after the war, if then.
"But it scared us nit right, for If we had been caught there was little doubt what would have happened lo us.
"One are dropped only 20 yards from our stern, but luckily they did not see us.
Then suddenly realised that the noise of the aeroplane engines would drown our motor-beat engine, so we started her up, and hended towards England.
"We broke down once, just off the Casquets, and drifted for four hours while we made repairs, won dering all the time when we should hear the roar of a German E-boat. But none came, and we got the engines going again, and made the English coast.
"WE'LL GO BACK"
"We were taken over by the Cus- toms, and sent to London. Then we all scattered to our familie mine was in Southampton, I hoped. "And I think that was where we got the biggest surprise of all-it was more in our minds ever

Sultan On Obligations
To Britain
There was not the slightest doubt that Great Britain and her allies would achieve final victory in the present war, said the Sultan of Selangor speaking at the State Council's budget meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
The Sultan painted out that the fast budget meeting was held soon after the war broke out, and that they had then hoped the war would be over in a relatively short while. In- stead, it had spread and when it would finally end was a matter for con- jecture, His Highness declared that in this part of the world the people must be prepared for all eventualities though, so far, the horrors of war had not visited them.
Belangor had obligations to the added. the British Government, Sullan, among which
