"Outwitting the Hun"
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien
i
(Copyright, 19IS. by Pat Alva O'Brien.)
"Good Heavens, Leftenant!" he
exclaimed, as he pumped my hand up
and down, "how did you ever get
away?" and I had to sit right down
and tell him and half a dozen other
people in the bank all about my ex
periences.
I had been in England about five
days when I received a telgram
which, at first occasioned me almost
as much concern as the unexpected
sight of a German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. It read as
follows:
Lieutenant P. A. O'Brien, Royal Hy
ing Corps, Regent's Palace Hotel,
London.
The King Is very clad to hear of
your ewapo from Germany. If yon
aret to be in London on Friday next.
I>ecember 7, His Majesty will re
ceive you at Buckingham Palace at
10.30 a. m. Please acknowledge.
CROMKR.
Of course, there was only one thing
to do and that was to obey orders. 1
was an officer in the army and the
King was my .commander-in-chief.
I had to go. and so I sat down and
sent off the following answer:
Karl Cromer, Buckingham Palace,
London:
I will attend Buckingham Palace
as directed, Friday, December 7, at
10.30.
LIEUTENANT PAT O'BRIEN.
In the interval that elapsed. I ;
must confess, the ordeal of calling
on the Kng of England loomed up
more dreadfully every da?, and I'
really believe I would rather have
spent another day in that empty:
house in the big city in Belgium or. |
say. two more days at Courtrai. than
go through what I believed to be in
store fdr me.
Orders were orders, however, and ;
there was no way of getting out 61
it. As it turned out, it wasn't half <
as bad as I had feared—on the con- j
trary, it was one of the most agree-]
able experiences of my life.
CHAPTER XIX
I Am Presented to the King
When the dreaded 7th of Decern-:
ber arrived. I hailed a taxicab and j
in as matter-of-fact tone of voice as
I could command, directed the
chauffeur to drive to Buckingham:
Palace, as though I was paying my
regular morning call on the King.
My friends' version of this inci- j
dent, I have since heard, is that I,
seated myself in the taxi and lean->
ing though the window said: "Buck
ingham Palace!" whereupon the taxi
driver got down, opened the door j
and exclaimed threateningly:
"If you don't get out quietly and
chuck your drunken talk, I'll jolly
quick call a bobby, bli" me, if I
won't!"
But I can only give my word that
nothing of the kind occurred. i
When I arrived at the Palace
gate, the sentry on guard asked me
who I was and then let me pass at
once up to the front entrance of the.
Palace.
There I was met by an elaborate- j
ly uniformed and equally elaborate
ly decorated personage, who, judging <
by the long row of medals he wore,
must have seen long and dis- ]
tinguished service for the King.
I was relieved of my overcoat, hat
and stick and conducted up a long
stairway, where I was turned over
to another functionary, who led me
to the reception room of Earl Cro- j
mer, the King's secretary.
There I was introduced to an- [
other Earl and a Duke, whose names
I do not remember. I was becoming
■o bewildered, in fact, that it is a
wonder that I remember as much as
I do of thts eventful day.
I had heard many times that be
fore being presented to the King a
man is coached carefully as to just
how he is to act and what he is to)
say and do, and all this time I was
wondering when this drilling would '
commence. I certainly had no idea
that I was to be ushered into the \
august presence of the king without
some preliminary Instruction.
Earl Cromer and the other noble
men talked to me for a while and got
me to relate in brief the story of my
experience, and they appeared to be
very much interested. Perhaps they
did it only to give me confidence and
as a sort of rehearsal for the main
performance, which was scheduled to
take place much sooner than I ex
pected.
I had barely completed my story
when the door opened and an at
tendant entered and announced:
"The king will receive Lieutenant
O'Brien!"
Life Had No
Charms For Him
"Oh what a difference in the
moraine," says Mr. W. Lesnevski. of
730 Lehman street, Lebanon, Pa. I
have had Stomach and Kidney trou
ble for years. I could not sleep, but
Just roll and toss and wait ,for day
light. I had no appetite and I was
existing <m my ambition for I had
to work. I heard so much about
TOIJRII and that It contained so many
different herbs, roots and barks and
so amali amount of alcohol that I
thought I would try it.
I -began to take Tonall and the re
sults I have received have been
wonderful. I eat and sleep fine and
my nervousness Is fast disappear
ing.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
Store, Harrlsburg. where its merits
will be explained by the Tonall
chemist, and also at Herahey"s Drug
Store, Hershey, Pa.

THURSDAY EVENING.
If he had announced that the Kai
ser was outside with a squad of Ger
man gtiards to take me back to Cour
trai my heart could not have sunk
deeper.
In the Presence of the King
Earl Cromer beckoned me to follow
him and we went into a large room,
where I supposed I was at last to re
ceive my coaching, but I observed
the Earl bow to a man standing
there and realized that I was stand
ing in the presence of the King of
England!
"I'our Majesty, Leftenant O'Brien!"
the Earl announced and then imme
diately backed from the room. I be
lieved I would have followed right
behind him. but by that time the
king had me by the hand and was
congratulating me. and he spoke so
very cordially and democratically
that he put me at my ease at once.
He then asked me how I felt and
whether I was on condition to con
verse. and when I told him I was,
he said he * would be very much
pleased to hear my story in detail.
"Were you treated any worse by
the Germans, leftenant." he asked,
"on account of being an American?
I've heard that the Germans had
threatened to shoot Americans serv
ing in the British army if they cap
tured them, classing them as mur
derers because America was a neu
tral country and Americans had no
right to mix in the war. Did you
find that to be the case?"
I told him that I had heard similar
reports, but that I did not notice any
appreciable difference in my treat
ment from that accorded Britishers.
The King declared that he believed
my escape was due to my pluck and
will power and that it was one of

the most remarkable escapes he had
ever heard of. which I thought was
quite a compliment, coming as it did
from the king of England.
"I hops that all the Americans will
give as good an account of them
selves as you have, leftenant," he
said, "and I feel quite sure they will.
1 fully appreciate all the service ren
dered us by Americans before the
States entered the war."
At this point X asked him if I was
taking too much time.
"Not at all. leftenant. not at all!"
he replied, most cordially. "I was
extremely interested in the brief re
port that came to me of your won
derful escape and I sent for you be
cause I wanted to hear the whole
story first hand, and I am very glad
'you were able to come."
X had not expected to remain more
than a few jninutes, as I understood
that four minutes is considered a
long audience with the Iking. Fifty
two minutes elapsed before I Anally
left there!
During all this time I must have
done most of the taking, in response
to the king's request to tell my
story. Occasionally he interrupted
to ask a question about a point he
wanted rae to make clear, but for
the most part he was content to play
the part of listener.
Genial nnd Gracious Sovereign
He seemed to bo very keen on
everything and when I described
some of the tight holes I got into
during my escape ne evinced hi*
sympathy. Occasionally I introduced
some of the few humorous incidents
of my adventure and in every in
stance he laughed heartily.
Altogether the impression I got of
him was that he is a very genial,
graciouss and alert sovereign. T
know I have felt more ill at ease
when ta.lking to a major than wh£n
speaking to the king—but perhaps
I had more cause to.
During the whole interview v4|
were left entirely alone, which im
presed me as significant of the demo
cratic manner of the present king of
England, and I certainly came away
with the utmost respect for him.
In all of my conversation. I re
\ •
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
called afterward. I never addressed !
the king as "Your Majesty." but
used the military "sir." was a
British officer and he was head
of the army, he probably appreciated
this manner of address more than if
I had used the usual "Tour Majesty."
Perhaps he attributed it to the fact
that I" was an American. At any
rate, he didn't evince any displeasure
at my departure from what 1 under
stand IS the usual form of address.
Before I left he apked me what
my plans for the future were.
"Why, sir, I hope to rejoin my
squadron at the earliest possible mo
ment," I replied.
"No. leftenant." he rejoined, "that
is out of the question. We can't risk
losing you for good by sending you
back to a part of the front opposed
by Germany, because if you were un
fortunate enough to be captured
again they would undoubtedly shoot
you." \
"Well, If I can't serve in Urance.
sir." I suggested, "wouldn't it be
feasible for me to fly in Italy or
Salonica?"
"No." he replied, "that would be
almost as bad. The only thing that
1 can suggest for you to do is either
to take up instruction—a very val
uable form of service—or perhaps it
might be safe enough for you to
serve in Egypt, but Just at present,
leftenant. I think you have done
enough anyway."
Then he rose and shook hands with
me and wished me the best of lock,
and we both said "Gfcod-by."
In the adjoining room I met Earl
Cromer again, and as he accom
panied me to the door he seemed to
be surprised at the length of my
visit.
"His Majesty must have been very
much interested in your atory," he
said.
As I left the palace a policema'n
and a sentry outside came smartly
to attention Perhaps they figured
I had been made a general.
A*l was riding back to the hotel
In a taxi I reflected on the remark-
I able course of events which in the
short space of nine months had taken
me through so and ended up.
like the flnistv of a book, with my |
being received by his Majesty the
King! When I flrst joined the Royal )
Plying Corps I never expected to see
the inside of Buckingham Palaces
much less being received by the
king.
CHAPTER XX
Home Again!
That same day, in the evening. I
was tendered a banquet at the Hotel
Savoy by a fellow officer who had bet
three other friends of mine that I
would be home by Christmas. This
wager had been made at the time he
i heard that I was a prisoner of war,
and the dinner was the stake.
The first intimation he had of my
| safe return from (Germany and the
1 fact that he had won his bet was a
telegram I sent him reading as fol
lows:
"Lieutenant Ixnils Grand:
"War bread bad. so I came home.
"PAT."
' He said he would not part with
| that message for a thousand dol
lars.
Other banquets followed in fast
succession. After I had survived nine
of them I figured that I was now in
as much danger of succumbing to a
surfeit of rich food as I had pre
viously been of dying from starva
tion. and for my own protection I
' decided to leave London.
| Moreover, my thoughts and my
! heart were turning back to the land
; of my birth, wliere I knew there was
! a loving old mother who was longing
I for more substantial evidence of my
I safe escape than the cable and let-
I ters she had received.
' Strangely enough, on the boat
j which carried me across the Atlantic
I I saw an R. F. C. Man—Lieutenant
; Lascelles.
; I walked over to him, held out my
i hand and said "Hello!"
He looked at me steadily for at
least a minute. i
! "My friend, yotl certainly look like
| Pat O'Brien." he declarsd. "but I
can't believe my eyes. Who are
you?"
I quickly convinced him that his
I eyes were still to be relied upon, and
then he stared at me for another
minute or two, shaking hla h®a<T
dubiously.
His mystincatlon was quite ex
plicable. The lpst time lie had seen
me I was going down to earth with
a bullet In my face and ray machine
doing a spinning nose dive. He was
one of my comrades in the flying
corps and was in the light which re
sulted in my capture. He said he
had read the report that I was a
prisoner of war. but he had never
believed It. as he did not think It
possible for me to survive that fall.
Happiest On Itrnrklag Home
He was one of the few men living
out of eighteen who were originally
in my squadron—l do not mean the
eighteen with whom I sailed from
Canada last May, but the sq<*adron I
joined in Prance. He rehearsed for
| me the fate of all my old friends in
1 the squadron, and it was a mighty sad
; story. Nearly all of them had been
killed except one or two, who were
!in dry docks for repairs. He himself
was on his way to Australia to re
cuperate and get his nerves back
into shape again. He had been in
many desperate combats.
As we sat on the deck exchanging
experiences I would frequently notice
him gazing Intently in my face as if
he were not quite sure that thJ/
whole proposition was not a hoax
j and that 1 was not an imposter.
Outside of this unexpected meet
' ing. my trip across was uneventful,
i I arrived in St. John, New Bruns
wick. and eventually in the little
town of Momence, 111., on the Kan
kakee river.
I have said that I was never so
happy to arrive in a country as I
was when I first set foot on Dutch
soil. Now. I'm afraid I shall have to
'take that statement back. Not until
I Anally landed in Momence and
realized that 1 was again In the town
of my childhood days did I enjoy
that . feeling of absolute security
which one never really appreciates
until after a visit to foreign parts.
Now that I am back, the whole
adventure constantly recurs to me
as a dream, and I'm never quite sure
that I won't wake up and find It o.
