We were matched to the citadel, i searched. questioned again. The prison was a large room cut into • cubicles with wooden partition*. John jHarsey and 1 were put into one of these Weisser and l.ass into another. The building was tite old Turkish citadel, it must have dated l*uek to the Middle Ages. We were in one of the towers. There were no windows. I.ight and ventilation came through ! deep loopholes used oiiginally by archers defending the citadel. Cells Are Crowded. It was 2:30 in the afternoon when we were put into our cells. It was stifling hot. The place was crowded with Syrians. Arabs. Druse. Sene galese. Tunisians. Algerians, Moroc cans and Krencbmen. The l*egion was well represented. There were 30 of os there. This was the central prison of the military police. Hence the crowd. They wete in for every conceivable crime. One Syrian bandid told ms proudly he had killed 20 gendarmes. He was only Ifi. They hanged him a week later in the public square. A couple of Syrians were serving iOO - sentences for furnishing informa tion to the enemy, for tehellion and other military crimes. Outside the main cell was the death cell. There were 12 men in it. They were all Syrians from Damascus. They had been mixed op in fighting in The Gardens. They were all very cheerful about it. and seemed to regard approaching death lightly. # I.ike all prisons in Syria, the place was infested with all the insect pests. Our routine was simple. At 4:30 in the morning a gendarme got us up by heating on the wooden wall with his tiding crop. AVe had coffee, and were driven up onto the roof for exercise. At 9 30 a 20-galion bucket of soup ap peared. with 4 inches of grease on top of it. This soup generally con tained a few beans or lentils, and if you were lucky you drew a couple. It was ladled into our gamelles with a piece of foul looking meat. AVc had a half loaf of bread. Bari as it was. it was the best of our food. I couldn’t eat the stuff. I managed to buy with my remaining money some chctcolate the cook boiled for us. Bath Is Welcomed. AVe remained on the roof until 4 30. Then we had the same meal again, and at 5 o’flock we were taken down for the night. Theoretically we were taken down to sleep. Actually, we spent a great part of the time pur suing the invisible enemy. Once a week we were taken down to the river which runs l»*neath the citadel and allowed to wash our clothes. Once a week we had a hot shower. Harvev and I were glad enough about this, but The natives didn't share our en thusiasrn. The gendarmes used to have to drive them to it. I believe some of these bandits got the first J bath of their lives the day they went to prison. AA'e did most of our sleeping in the day When the bugs didn't keep u* awake, the card players and hasheesh smokers did All the natives are great gamblers. They would range around in a circle lighted by candles and plav some native card game until on* of the men arose and threw the cards in a player's fate. They would be at each other's throats in a minute, the whole gang chattering like monkeys. In would come the gendarmes and is-ai them over the heads with riding crops. Thi* happened three or four times a night. If it wasn’t the card games it was the smokers. They got hasheesh some way or another. This they either s-tooked or drank in (heir tea it seemed to have exactly the earn effect as t/ooze on them. Some sang, •others fought. Tite le-st of the lot w<*nt to sleep The poet who wrote "The Xight Dan a Thousand Kyes” didn't know Syria. He meant a thousand noises. f'onaul Arrive*. I had been in the citadel a Unit a week when Mr. Kesley, American consul. looked me up, A newspaper correspondent 1 had met at Hueida had sent a story announcing I was to t>e shot by the council of war. AVe never had any Much fear. No hod v will ttelieve me when 1 say that r,either the l/glon nor the French tri genera j shoot d* setters except in j cases of desertion in Die face of the i em-my.
