Mr. Lindsay Sands, a South African lawyer, owes his freedom to the fact that the Vichy authorities valued him at three cases of petrol. Mr. Sands was travelling by a Dutch ship which was torpedoed off the West African coast. After eight days in a lifeboat he and his fellow survivors were picked up and taken to French Guinea. They were then sent to Goulpk, near Dakar. The French there handed Mr. Sands over to British Gambia i authorities for three cases of petrol.
