Text 5 There are few occasions in life when one is in such a tight place that one is unable to help others. But I can record two incidents, which happened when I moved out for the last time as an evacuee myself. I left Tamu on 9 April, 1942, under the scorching midday sun, carrying all the kit I possessed, and leading a friend's faithful old Labrador -for I had lost my own dogs. As I turned a bend where the track took o ff for the first ascent into the M anipur hills, I found two sobbing little Indian children, a girl o f about seven and a boy o f about four. Against the bank lay an Indian girl- mother, aged about twenty, dying o f thirst, hunger, exhaustion and grief. I could do nothing less than give her a drink out o f my water-bottle, and in her eyes I read gratitude and a terrible question, «What will happen to my children?» While I was looking at her, in despair o f doing anything, the change came suddenly, and a moment later I realized that I was left alone with the responsibility o f these children, and that every man and woman coming up the road was fighting for his or her own life, and many o f them would be lucky if they could save themselves. I could not carry one child, even if I were to leave the other. Something made it impossible for me to go on and so I turned back instead. Providence came to my aid, for within a mile I met a jeep - one o f the first jeeps we had seen on that road. It was being driven by a Staff Captain, whom I had met a few days previously in Tamu. I stepped out in front o f him, blocking the track, taking the risk that he would drive over me or send me spinning down the roadside. But he recognized me, and pulled up. Then he greeted me with the words: «Can't be done, old chap. If I pick you up, I'll never get through, and I have to get over the mountains before dark.» I told him I would rather die by the roadside than be in such a car, or take the risk of being driven by him, but I begged him to take the two children, packed under his kit in the back, and to drop them at the evacuee camp at Imphal. жүктеу/скачать 7,88 Mb.
