Six months later I made my attempt to escape in the company of two other boys. The other two boys were caught and taken back to the institution. I was the only successful one and this was due to my going straight to the boy’s home near lnya lake where I had previously stayed and throwing myself on the mercy of mother the lady who ran the home. This kind hearted lady listened with sympathy and obvious distress to my story and wept for me at its conclusion. She also readmitted me at once to her home.
