(From an article by David Low, the distingushed British cartoonist, in the New York Times Magazine) . The surprise with which the world has received the behavior of the Briâ€" tish under bomb raigs is itself rather surprising. How were we expected to behave? Ask the Irish Ambassador to convey our congratulations to Goerâ€" ing? Fly a bedsheet from Buckingâ€" ham â€" Palace flagpole! Or_just â€"run around in circles, moaning? There are evidently a lot of people, even among the friendly Americans who have the British wrong. To begin with, they put altogether to much, emphasis on the English.

There had been no actual fighting on ‘British soil since our own civil war in 1646., Napoleon gave us an invasion scare at the beginning of the last century, but the event did not come off. Up till this years all we know about the ravages of modern bombing we got from newsreels and photographs of China, Poland and Northern Europe in the picture papers. Naturally, there was anticipatory uneasiness at the beginning of the war. The thing was an infernal nuisance; no one felt particularly warlike.

We sleep together in shelters or in one another‘s houses. We eat together. We travel together. We are lookng after one another‘s children. Itâ€" is impossible to be reserved or snobbish when we are jumping through one anâ€" other‘s windows to put out one anâ€" other‘s fires. We work together, we telescope our business together. It is difficult to maintain the competitive spirit against your business rival when he has lent you a desk in his office because you have been bombed out, The social and economic transforâ€" mations during the last eighteen months are already sketching outlines of future change in our ideas and ways of living. It has been discovered to the surprise of the dimwits, for inâ€" stance, that the country air is doing the town children a power of good and we talk of moving all the schools out permanently. Knowing the worst, we take the sitâ€" uation not. with less resolution but with more lightness of spirit; even comâ€" pensating ourselves with our exclusive "secret weapon"‘ of defence, the aforeâ€" mentioned British sense of humor.

There was a rebelâ€" lion in Cuba and to Cuba he went. It was a private expedition for purposes of observation. Observation, sometimes at close quarters. Once, while at dinâ€" 'ner with Spanish officers, bullets from unseen rebeéls shot over the table. All the officers jumped away in excusable panic. Churchill did not budge. He was too busy eating a cold leg of chicâ€" | ken. For better tackling of the drumâ€" stick, he lowered his head, At that instantâ€"ping!â€"a bullet sped over him and missed by a hair. Just luck,â€"or a I miracle? Indiaza and Soudan At 22, he was in India with his regiâ€" ment; playing polo, reading the clasâ€" sics, siglring for action and exciteâ€" ment. There was excitement enough on the frontier where Pathan tribesâ€" men, were in revolt. Churchill was "‘"permitted" to go there as a favor, and was soon in the scrap.. Pathan fightâ€" ers invariably mutilated the British wounded who fell into their clutches. That is why Churchiil tried to drag a sorely wounded soldier down a hillside. A Sikh who relieved him of the burden was shot through the head. Then the regimental adjutant was killed.. Four soldiers who tried to carry his body away were attacked by bellowing Paâ€" thans. Minutes later, Churchill faced the wild tribesmen aloneâ€"and his reâ€" volver balked. But miracles do hapâ€" pen. A party of Sikhs charged up the hill, and the lieutenant was rescued. He borrowed a rifle and more than one fleeing ‘Pathan dropped as he fired. At Omdurman in the Soudan camâ€" paign of 1989, the 21st Lancers made a charge that #ecame famous.. Churâ€" chill was in it. In India a second shoulder dinjury had slowed up the swing of his sabre arm.. To offset this, he became an expert marksmun with â€"a revolver., No blade, however sharp would have saved him, when during the charge he became isolated from his own men and in the midst of Dervishes But he shot his way out when every bullet counted. Another bit of luck, that damaged ‘shoulder. Wanted Dead or Alive With the possible exception of the strange flight of Rudolph Hess, no "esâ€" cape‘‘ story ever created such universal interest as that of Winston Churchill‘s daring escape from the Boers. So familiar is the story that it need not be retold. But emphasis for a moment, please, on one phase of it. All night he rode away from Pretoria among empty coal sacks in a railroad car.

Proâ€" vidence has preserved the life of Winâ€" ston Churchill for his high destiny. In â€"he superb English of his own writâ€" nes; in articles and biographies of others, stories of miraculous escapes irom â€" death unfold with impressive frequency. In barest outline they can scracely be crowded into a colunmn. Ireland was the scene of Winston‘s first adventure. His grandfather, the Duke of Marlborough, was Viceroy n the Emerald Isle at the time, and the Duke‘s son, Lord Randolph Churchill, his secretary, â€" "Winnie" was then four years old. It was while the child was riding a donkey, led by his nurse, Mrs. Everist, that a number of men in dark uniform appeared. Mrs. Everist thought they were Fenians, and panicky fears of kidn@pping arose. She became agiâ€" tated.. So did the donkey. _ Winston was thrown and sustained a brain conâ€" cussion.
