ONE THAT GOT AWAY
FLIGHT FROM DAKAR, by Eiliv Hange and Vera Hartman; George Allen and Unwin Ltd., English price 15/-. [DAKAR was briefly and intermittently in the news between 1939 and 1945. For the unfoftunate Allied and neutral merchantmen interned in that Port, however, very little at all seemed to happen. It is astonishing that there should have been so many ships held in this small West African port. The French Vichyites having repelled a Free French attack supported by British warships, determined to obey the direction of their German masters and keep this merchant fleet immobilised. This in the case of the "Lidvard" was frustrated by the contrivance of the engineers, and finally the crew took their ship out of Dakar harbour under the nose of the Richelieu’s powerful guns. How this was done makes a good story which is simply and
modestly told,
F. J.
