Our cavalcade of six was divided in two patrols, a number of Belgian in-tantry in-tantry soldiers were commauGcered to accompany us, and soon we were on our wav to surround the houe. It waj pitch dari, ana tha country around nero is not exactly euited for caany patrols. We had to wade or jump a uitch almost every hundred varus. Xhe signals at the nousa meanwhile had ceased. When witlun aiout half a mile of the house we thought it better to proceed on foot, to v. a left the. horses in cuarge of one of the soldiers, flow disappointed and disgusted he was to have to give up the hunt. ''Pluaie, mon lieutenant, ' he begged. '-1 can tie tho hordes bo that they will be per-lectly per-lectly safe aione. Please let me come along!" But German spies have proved verv wily, so it was deemed saier to havb a sentinel fruard our horses. We had not gone very far when we heard two rifle reports in quick succession, suc-cession, and then saw a number of our other party race across the field towards to-wards the farm. When wo got thero a man in peasant's cluthea was lying on his back aead. Beside him a powerful electric torch. Papers, maps and other documents in his pockets, marking the position of a certain 1'Tench and Belgian battery, were sufficient evidence evi-dence that no injustice had been done. The other party bad arrived beioro ua. Tho spy, under cover of darkness, triod to escape, but a well-aiined shot from our sharpshooters had caught him. Spies Use Windmills. A few days ago it was discovered that the wings (or are they called "arms") of the windmills are being used for signalling. An order has therefore been issued that every mill, unless working, must have its four arms in an exactly horizontal and ver- I tical position. Spies in every imaginable disguise are simplv overrunning the country. I was shown this morning at Co.xy.le the heavy cement platform tor aj large German sico gun. It was d'S- j covered underneath a villa. An offi-cer offi-cer of the Belgian engineers told me 1 that it lo'jk him almo.-t a hole day j to dynamito the heavy foundations, j Prcm this particular point Dunkirk! could havo teen bombarded. I |
