Well, you sit here and talk, but I'm going to do something.” Sherry himself was angered a bit by that. “All right, what?” he barked. “What you going to do? You were glready over there.

FLYING FIS

ETTY MARY JORDAN, a prisoner, behaved far better than her captor might have expected her to. It was evident that Luis Barro told two of his guards to watch her closely, for often they came check up on her, and each time found her peacefully at work. Not ss scared as she had been, she maintained a front of abject fear, pevertheless. At that, it wasnt all

pretense. She labored in the laundry until after sunset. “It is night,” she told the woman in charge there. “Here are still some large linens. Shall I hang them out now, even so?” “Things dry at night in this air” the woman said. “But do you think your can slip by the guard!” Betty Mary didnt try to escape. With the clothes lines already full, she climbed 60 feet or so up the steep hill—well above the roof line of the house—and tied three white sheets to shrubs that grew there, as she had often seen wash women do
