First American Aviator Captured By Germans, Escapes and Reaches London; Ate Turnips 72 Days

LONDON', Nov. 29. Lieut. Patrick O'Brien, of Momence, 111., south of Chicago, the first American member of the British flying corps to escape from Germany, has arrived in London. O'Brien eluded his captors by Jumping from the window of a speeding train. He then became a fugitive for seventytwo days and, as his goal was within Bight, narrowly escaped electrocution from the charged wires along the Holland frontier. After cabling his aged mother, Mrs. Margaret O'Brien, at Momence, to expect to see him soon, Lieut. O'Brien called upon American Ambassador Page to seek advice regarding his desire to be transferred to the American flying corps. Last night,. O'Brien was dined by a group of admiring filers, who, like scores of friends along the front, had believed he had been killed when he was reported missing on Aug. 17 last. O'Brien, who is a sturdy young man of twenty-seven, was flvine in the

Ameerican aviation squadron at San Diego, Cal., when he went to Victoria, B. C, and obtained a commission in the Canadian army. Going to France the next year he diRtme-nishpd himself

by his great daring over the German lines. On the morning of August 17 enemy gunners forced him to descend, but fortunately he landed behind his own lines. Falls 8,000 Feet. Late afternoon of the next day, saw him up again over the German lines, fighting the enemy. There was twenty German machines to six British in the encounter, O'Briens machine alone engaging four enemy craft and accounting for one before O'Brien was shot through the upper lip. He fell with his damaged airplane from a height of eight thousand feet. O'Brien says he cannot explain why he was not killed. When he regained consciousness he was In a German hospital. Later the lieutenant spent three weeks at a prison camp at Courtrai before he was started for the Interior of Germany. There were three other prisoners under a strong in his compartment when O'Brien, as a ruse, had the window opened by complaining of the smoke. The train was now sixty miles inside Germany and travelling at thirty miles an hour, but O'Brien decided to take a desperate chance. He jumped from the train, skinning the whole side of his face, re-opening the wound in his lip and losing consciousness. It was

about four o'clock in the morning and the darkness shielded him. When he recovered he was lying In a field. Traveled By Night. Then for sexenty-two days he was a fugitive, travelling only at night. He trudged through fields and swam

rivers and canals in Germany, Luxem-

Dourg and Belgium before he reached the Dutch frontier. At the time of his flight he had a piece of sausage on which he subsisisted for several days, after which his sole sustenance con

sisted or turnips and other vegetables found in the fields. O'Brien did not know the German language, but he used a little French on a kinly Belgian who was so happy to meet an American in British uniform that he sheltered him for several days. The Belgian then gave him old clothes to cover his uniform and directed him to the nearest route to the frontier. O'Brien swam the river Meuse near Namor and the next day was challenged by German sentries who decided he was a peasant. But his narrowest escape was reserved for his last day as a fugitive when he could see Dutch territory. To circumvent the charged wires O'Brien built a bridge in a nearby wood and threw it across the wires. But it broke under his weight and

O'Brien received a shock which he says he can still feel. When he recovered he dug with his bare hands a tunnel under the wire and, although it was slow progress, after several hours he had a hole big enough to crawl through, which he did unobserved. Even then O'Brien was not sure he was in Dutch territory, so he concealed himself in a hay barn until the next morning. When daylight came the first thing he saw was people making wooden shoes. He then walked out into the open and hurried to the nearest British consul who arranged for his transportation to London.
