hut to your luck. I knew one man who
went from Italy to England and back
again and his only unusual experience
was this: At Boulogne he went to bed
on board a channel boat expecting to
wake up the next morning at Dover.
He woke up once or twice during the
night, heard the usual splashing of wa
ter through the porthole, and promptly
went to sleep again, unafraid of sub
marines. Shortly after daylight he
woke up, looked out and saw that the
vessel was tied up to a dock. He
dressed, packed his valise and went
upon deck, ready to go ashore. There
he saw the same dock he had seen the
night before he went to bed. Surprised.
he asked if the vessel had been forced
to puL back to Boulogune during the
night. "She iasn't left the dock at
all," he was told. "Her departure has
been postponed until tonight. Mean
while you passengers must go ashore
and report to the police station." The
man spent a dull day and finally did
arrive at Dover the next morning.
On the other hand, at the frontiers,
many people, especially women, have
adventures which to some of them are
particularly dreadful. Many of the
sples used by both sides in the war
have been women. Consequently all
women are apt to be subjected to
search at the frontiers, no matter ia
which direction they may be going.
Customs officers have been made wary
by mutltitudes of tricks. Thus it being

usual for country women to carry
baskets of eggs or chickens, but the
trick of one has since made the
frontler difficult for the others.
