BOOK OF THE DAY LONG WAY ROUND
Escape to Danger. By Francois Nattages. George G. Harrap and Co. Ltd. 198 pp. (8/6 net.) When he was demobilised in the south of France after the “contemptible armistice.” Francois Nottages wanted to resume the fight under de Gaulle. Week after week he and his friend Pierre scoured the Mediterranean ports, looking for a chance to escape and make for London. They found it. at last, at Port Vendres, and embarked on their journey—the long way round. 10,000 miles, coasting Spain, across to Oran, through the Sahara to the Niger, from Hayes to Bathurst, and so by sea to Freetown and on ‘‘to England, now the home of the Fighting French.” This unusual travel book opens in an air of gallant enterprise and episode and observation take something of its character.
