There are two ways of escape, he says.

Both involve terrible hardships.

The Arst way is to buy, build or steal a canoe and go down the River Maroni to the ocean. Across the open sea, prevailing currents carry the craft to the Venezuelan coast.

14 DAYS IN OPEN BOAT. This means about 14 days in an open boat, probably with little or no food or water.

Some have remained at sea for as many as 30 days.

The second way of escape is to swim the 1,500 yard wide Maroni River into Dutch territory. There the convicts live in hiding in hopes of getting to Paramaribo. This is an even more hazardous means of escape. The wild beasts of the forest, the heat and Inck of food kill off many of the refugees from Devil's Island.
