A petition a yard long was passed about and everybody signed it with lukewarm interest. It besought General von Griffenhaus either to have the cylinder head of the engine removed or a wrench loaned to Tom Slade for that purpose.
"Nobody could file through that fence wire without the sentries hearing him; it's as thick as a slate pencil, almost." "Just the same you can't blame General Griffenhaus for not being willing to give files to prisoners. That's the way prisoners always get away in stories." About dusk of the same day Tom wandered to the pump, which was not far from the center of the vast oval.
General Griffenhaus was not cruel; perhaps he would have been pleasant if he had known how. As fast as Tom learned the custom, he adapted himself to the lazy, go-as-you-please kind of life.
At last Archer, having boosted this laggard campaign with amazing energy, elected himself the one to present the imposing petition to General von Griffenhaus, because, as he said, he was never rattled in the presence of greatness, which was quite true. He caught the general on inspection tour and prayed for a monkey wrench with the humility but determination of the old barons before King John.
Besides conferring this favor upon them, about the only thing which the German government did was to send a doctor around occasionally to look down their throats and inspect their tongues. If a prisoner became ill, it behooved him to find another prisoner who had studied medicine and then wait until old General Griffenhaus was in a sufficiently good humor to give him medicines.
