Evidently he was seriously injured, for he did not attempt to rise. Thepallor of his face and the glassy look in his eyes indicated that he hadfainted. He was carried below and restoratives were administered tohim, but these did not bring back more than barely enough life toreassure his caretakers that the concussion on his head was probably notfatal.

The run from the scene of the sinking of the British hospital ship andconvoy to the Spanish coast was made in about eighteen hours, and beforenoon of the day following, Irving was landed on a bleak and desolatespot on the Bay of Biscay. Meanwhile, he had thankfully observed theslowness with which the former "cubist art spy" recovered. Although hefound it necessary several times to be at the bedside of the patient,the latter showed no signs of recognition; indeed, he at no time beforeIrving was put ashore indicated that he had fully recovered from thestupor which followed the shock of his fall.
The story of how Irving found his way to a Spanish settlement andsubsequently got in touch with a British consulate and thence again withthe Canadian army is of little interest compared with the thrillingevents heretofore narrated. Suffice it to say that in due time successmet his efforts to get back with the Canadians, who retained unshakablepossession of Vimy Ridge, and that the information he was able to turnover to his superior officers brought him recognition and honors fromvery high sources.
