One hot day, a guard was sleeping under a tree. I stole the key of the hut and made a copy! There is a lot of rope in the hut too. The guards rarely go in the hut. I can hide the balloon in there too, and some matches!”
One very foggy, November day, the two men escaped! Jerry and Jeff told the doctor they were ill. “We feel terrible” said Jeff and Jerry. “We’ve got pains in our stomaches.” “Very well,” said the doctor, “I’ll send you to the prison hospital. Tomorrow I will examine you.”
When it was dark they went to the bathroom. In the wall there was an operating for ventilation. The two men took out the bars and climbed up to the roof! There was a window in the roof. They went through the window and on to the roof.
The two men walked across the roof to the end of the building. Jerry tied a rope round a chimney and the prisoners climbed down to rocks below.
