On Friday, the 14th of June at nine p.m. the police came and said we must be out of our hotel at seven the next morning as the governâ€" ment wanted the five big hotels. Hundreds of us had to seek a roof by nightfall somewhere out of Pau.

July 1, 1940 Dozens of elder and frail English people turned to my husband for help and for ten days he was up at six a.m. and to bed about midâ€" night. He cabled to Sir Samuel Hore, our Ambassador at Madrid, for help and sent lists to them and just when we felt all was well Spain closed her frontiers to everyone. By Monday, the 24th, still unable to get into Spain and the village food had given out, we were desâ€" perate. We left our heavy boxes at the hotel and taking an old man of 86 and his daughter who were our friends at Pau we got the Mayor to let us have some reserve petrol and went to St. Jean deluz. Some nobleâ€" men had stolen our petrol although we had a lock on it. They took down the tank under the car in the gaâ€" rage. At St. Jean delLux we heard of a British boat being in. We had to abandon the car and our luggage but it saved our lives. It was the last ship to leave that coast of France. A director of the line helpâ€" ed us and came on board with us. The ship was the Arandora Star which had five thousand Polish airâ€" men and ground personnel and the fleeing Polish government on a boat supposed to carry only five hundred people.

We spent one night at Liverpool and were awakened at two a.m. by guns and saw the sky lit up by search lights. They did get our boat, the Aranâ€" dora Star, three days later on her next journey with fifteen hundred German _ and â€" Italian _ pridoners aboard.
