During a recent air raid the women hailed a taxi at Victoria Station and told the driver to take them to Scotland Yard. When they arrived they ordered -the driver to wait, appeared to speak to the policeman on duty at the main gates, and walked across the quadrangle towards the entrance.

The driver wafted for over an hour and then, inquired about his' passen- gers. The building was searched. but no trace of the two women was found.
