They soon learned why escape had been so easy: travel through the jungle was impossible, partly because of tigers. The fleeing men moved only by night, and stuck to the main colonial route leading to Hanoi. It was jammed by tens of thousands of Communist coolies and Russian-made Molotov trucks, and they escaped notice in the turbulent swarm.
