Finally we heard it arid we rushed' forward through a wave of hot air. Hope strengthened our arms and we plied our picks furiously, but our packing had been so well done that it took us two ho\trs before we got into the empty mine chamber. I listened but the sound of firing seemed so far off that I judged there Was a thick layer of earth between us and the outer world. Then drops fell upon us. "We're going to be flooded, so much the better,' said Jean. *We shall die more quickly.'

hich nearly buried us. We were all Injured, Bernard's leg being broken Jean's head cut and my left arm broken. Despite our pain we continued our efforts and after a while we came on a number of dead bodies of Germans, which had rolled to the bottom of the crater, which the mine explosion had made. "After an hour of digging and crawling among these bodies we got out into the air. Both my comrades were so exhausted that they fainted. I watched over th«m, being sheltered from shells and bullets by the steep side of the crater. After eight hours' waiting, am1bulance attendants found us and by that time we had but little life left in us."
