Fragmentary narrative chronicles Pat O Brien recounting enlistment in the Royal Flying Corps, training in Canada, combat over France, capture and shipwrecked escape through Belgium and Luxembourg toward Belgium with aid from a Belgan passer and a warning of risking Belgan helpers.
The narrator flees toward a Belgian city seeking a passport. He evades German patrols by posing as a Belgian peasant and negotiates help from Huyliger, who plans to smuggle him to Holland and later to assemble a forged passport. A four story house becomes his temporary safe harbor as his capture risk rises and a potential price for aid is demanded.
