Travelling ahead of the pack (Part 2 of 2)

So we, we took off, he kicked my foot, and I picked Sam Sangster, and Ed Bell and Henry Spray. And I said, all for different reasons. Henry was much more stable than we were and Sam spoke good German. He was Icelandic from Winnipeg, and Ed Bell was beautiful, blond, pink skin, blue eyes, 5'10", a typical Aryan, and he was going to be very useful and so, and me. So off we went, and I had been trained for some of this (inaudible). So anyhow, off we went, and we travelled all night, and all the next day, didn't stop. And we got, I figured that they couldn't move 2,000 guys on foot at much more than, if they could do two miles an hour it'd be a miracle. Where as we could probably do, with the cart and everything else, we could probably do six or seven miles an hour. So we got well ahead of them. And when we got to a place where there was a bit of a hill, one guy, we all slept separately, one guy on the top kept awake and before we went to sleep I heard him say, "Dust cloud due west at full stop." He could see where they'd been walking, and so we knew we still weren't far enough ahead. So oh, gosh. We slept on the ground, we slept apart and the guard in the meantime, he had to change horses and carts every two days because we didn't want anybody knowing what we were doing. And we were following the autobahn but on a country road, following the autobahn because I was afraid to get lost, anyhow, so it worked quite well.
