Why was the general apologetic when sadao told him that the prisoner had escaped?
Answers
The General had told Sadao that his private assassins would kill the young American. Dr. Sadao desperately wanted to get rid of the young American, who was an escaped prisoner of war. Dr. Sadao waited for many days, but no assassin came to his house tor this purpose. So Dr. Sadao told the young American that he was so well that if he put his boat on the shore tonight, with food and extra clothing in it, he might be able to row to that little island not far from the coast. Sadao told him that nobody lives on that island because in storm it sinks under the surface of water. He could live there until he would see a Korean fishing boat pass by. They used pass quite near the island. As soon as it was dark, Sadao had dragged the boat down to the shore. He put in it food and bottle water along with two quilts. He tied the boat to a post. Sadao got him dressed in Japanese clothes and wrapped a black cloth about his blonde head. The young man walked toward the shore. This is how he got rid of the young American boy.
