His first escape attemptcrawling on wooden skids failed; his second, with walking sticks and padded galoshes for shoes, was more successful. He managed to hobble at the rate of a mile a day, lived on raw corn, was gradually weakened by dysentery and hunger, and fell into the hands of Kima, a friendly North Korean who was able to complete his escape and escort him to Seoul." Foreword by General O. P. Weyland.
