It was related at tho Prize Court that eight British officer prisoners at Yozgad Turkey, in 1918, escaped and reached the coast in an emaciated condition, after untold privations and hairshreadth escapes, including encounters with brigands. They swam to the Turkish tug' Hertha, lying in the harbour, noiselessly raised the anchor, :aml rowed oil under the nose of the sentry. They then started the engines, and made for Cyprus, their compass being the sun. The Cuurt congratulated the officers, and decreed the prize theirs.—"Tho Times."
