Description

 Finally, I must tell you about the most difficult one ever, while we were living at New Bolingbroke. I was tracking it on a bicycle across country. 

 On roads at first, but then I had to take to the fields and between the fields were dykes and land drains large and small. I must have been about 31 or 32 years of age at the time and very fit.  I needed to be on this night, the number of times I had to back- track to get round long lengths of water was becoming very irritating. I could still not see the offending machine but it was getting nearer or rather I was getting nearer to it!

 Eventually I found it, right on the boundary of a large field about two miles from home. By this time, I was really annoyed with the infernal thing, I cut the hose into little pieces leaving them on the ground, hefted the gas machine into the land drain where it immediately disappeared in about 15 feet of water. The gas cylinder felt fairly full so I thought I should have some compensation for my two hours or so of effort.
