museums "unfortunate errors" of belligerant air-

men.

Carloads of valuable objects and many of the smaller paintings were transferred to rural dis- tricts. For the "outsize" canvasses, fire and water- proof receptacles were constructed below the rooms in which they were sign of impending danger hung. At the slightest

an ingenious contraption could be set into motion-- and the old masters would slide into comparative safety.

But when the German menace to Holland be- came even greater, this kind of protection was not considered sufficient for the most valuable paintings of all, foremost among them the "March- out of the Company of Amsterdam Musketeers" (commonly called "The Night Watch") by Rem- brandt. It was taken from its-shalter-to-an-ancient- castle on the outskirts of dreamy little Medemblik, north of Amsterdam. Here it hung against the thick, medieval wall of the deserted banqueting room, when on the morn ing of May 10, 1940, the Nazis invaded Holland,

Kurca.

There were rumours of Germans greedily "acquir- ing" valuable' antiques, paint- ings and jewellery, but no one knew for certain what had happened. Recently a story got past the German censor, a thrilling enough tale that offers irrefutable evidence of the risk Hollanders are pre- pared to run when the safety of their heritage of centuries is at stake. That story con- cerns "The Night Watch." -

On May 13, 1940, Medem- blik, far from proving the un- assailable shelter behind the dykes it was believed to be, lay in the path of the ever-ex- tending line of battle. Hur- riedly the director of the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum got together twelve trusted and experienced men and set out with them to save the paint- ing.

cars

Toward nightfall they reached Medemblik Castle und the "Night Watch." mea- suring about 12 by 14% feet, was loaded on an open truck normally used for the trans- portation of glass plates. Two closed passenger followed this van-but that night the procession did not advance very far. It stayed in a nearby village, under the protection of local peasants. One farmer distinguished him- self by yielding a threadbare tarpaulin with which the pic- ture was covered.

Before dawn the trip was resumed-right through a re- gion in which intermittent fighting took place. The final goal was a spot in which the Dutch Government and the Amsterdam Municipality had built a number of bomb-proof shelters, complete with heavy steel doors and complicated safety locks. Where this is remainé a secret. All that can be divulged is that, though only thirty miles or so from Medemblik, it is situated in one of the most desolate parts of the Netherlands.

The procession made head. way very slowly, Often its progress was hindered by droves of cattle, chased into "safety" by panic-stricken farmers. Once German bomber saw the strange "con-

voy" and swooped down to have a second look at it. Fortunately the Nazi left the procession unmolested.

At many points where the dykes had been pierced to keep back the German hordes, the roads were hidden by floodwater. Here and there high-tension wires hung dan- gerously low across the high- ways. Once it was necessary to drive the truck off the road and over the soft, muddy shoulder in. order to avoid electrocution of the entire company.

Toward midnight, the party reached its destination. The heavy steel doors were swung open, the "Night Watch" lifted from the truck. But immediately it became evident that the canvas was much too large for the opening of the shelter,

With infinite care it was laid in the open, and there, by the shine of torches, detached from the stretcher. Then at last, it could be put into the

cave.

The doors were locked on one of the world's greatest pictures. Here it would stay until the German attack: had been benten off.

Exhausted, but happy, the members of the rescue party got

back to Amsterdam. But when they awoke from 'a well-carned rest, Holland's army had capitulated. The Nazia were marching into every town and village. !
