Escape
When
he had killed the guard, the
prisoner of war quickly
dragged him into the bushes. Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead
man’s clothes. Now,
dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder.
The prisoner marched
boldly up and down
in front of the camp.
He could hear
shouting in the camp
itself. Lights
were blazing and men were running here and there : they had just discovered that a
prisoner had escaped.
At that moment, a
large black car with
four officers inside it, stopped
at the camp gates.
The officers got out
and the prisoner stood
to attention and saluted as they passed. When they had gone, the driver of the
car came towards
him. The man obviously wanted to talk. He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes. The prisoner
felt sorry for him,
but there was
nothing else he could do.
As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground
with a sharp blow. Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he could.

Monster or Fish?
Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these ‘monsters’
which have at times been sighted
are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual
creatures are washed
to the shore, but they rarely
caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar
fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing-boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing
that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way.
When it was eventually
brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet
long. It had a head
like a horse, big blue eyes,
shining silver skin,
and a bright red tail.
The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures
have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.
