One day before the hot weather began I was wearing battledress but not gaiters; I rode off across the desert; almost simultaneously my trouser leg got caught between the chain and the sprocket, the bike found some loose sand and I fell off.

A dozen men in UN battledress came up and took them prisoner. Benson shouted to them, and then rose and came down to join them.
