THRILLING ESCAPES
NURSES FROM NORWAY LONDON, Aug. 11. Crown Prince Olaf to-day visited the hospital opened by the Norwegian Government about a year ago, and staffed by Norwegian doctors and nurses. The hospital contains 45 beds, of which 41 are occupied. Most of the patients are from the Norwegian navy, but there are some men who were wounded in the Lofoten raid. All nine nurses of the staff have made their escape from Norway since the German occupation. Two of them had especially thrilling adventures as the fishing boat in which they sailed had to put back into port for repairs. While these were being made a close watch was kept for Germans, but the boat was able to set forth again, and arrived at the Shetlands after a rough passage. One of the doctors escaped to England dressed as a fisherman about three months ago.
