Churchill slept underground but went for walks above ground most evenings. A wool merchant by the name of Burnham was sending a consignment of wool to Lourenco Marques (Maputo) and space was left between the bales for Churchill to hide. Burnham rode in the guard’s van and they made it safely over the border and to the British Consulate. Churchill and Burnham went shopping and Churchill bought a rigout and a cowboy hat.
