THREE CASES OF PETROL
ACCEPTED BY VICHY FRENCH. FOR RELEASE OF SOUTH AFRICAN LAWYER. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, November 2. Mr Lindsay Sands, a South African lawyer, owes his freedom to the fact that the Vichy authorities valued him at three cases of petrol. Mr Sands was travelling by a Dutch ship which was torpedoed off the West African coast. After eight days in a lifeboat, he and his fellow survivors were picked up and taken to French Guinea. They were then sent to Goulak, near Dakar. The French there handed Mr Sands over to the British Gambia authorities for three cases of petrol.
