To me it was gibberish, but one of the men who could speak English informed me that the gist of his wail was the intimation that "if I moved a pace to the right, or a pace to the left, or fell back a pace, or hurried a pace during the march to the Wesel Arresthaus Wesel Prison I would be shot down immediately."
One tall, good-looking, sprucely dressed fellow impressed me. He looked like a fellow-countryman. I went up to him. "Are you English?" I asked. "Holy smoke! What a treat to hear an Englishman. 'Put it there," and he extended his hand. I proffered mine which he shook as if it were a pump handle. He with others had been arrested, not as spies, and had been detained in Wesel Arresthaus.
We turned about and hastily returned to the station. Here the officer demanded a double escort, which was granted, and we made another attempt to reach the Arresthaus. But the increased parade of military power only served to infuriate the crowd still more. They surged, swayed, and pressed, and howled, groaned, and shrieked as if bereft.
