The terrible Tramp Major met us at the door and herded us into the bathroom to be stripped and searched. It was a gloomy, chilly, limewashed place, consisting only of a bathroom and dining-room and about a hundred narrow stone cells. The woman was sent off to the workhouse, and we others into the spike. An official at the gate entered our names and other particulars in the register and took our bundles away from us. His tin of cigarette ends fell out of his sock at the wrong moment, and was impounded.ДЄt six, the gates swung open and we shuffled in. This was Scotty, a little hairy tramp with a bastard accent sired by cockney out of Glasgow. But it is an unwritten law that even the sternest Tramp Majors do not search below the knee, and in the end only one man was caught. We stuffed our ankles with contraband until anyone seeing us might have imagined an outbreak of elephantiasis. We hid them in our socks, except for the twenty or so per cent who had no socks, and had to carry the tobacco in their boots, even under their very toes. Then we set about smuggling our matches and tobacco, for it is forbidden to take these into nearly all spikes, and one is supposed to surrender them at the gate. So I buried my money in a hole under the hedge, marking the spot with a lump of flint. YouвЂ™d get seven days for going into the spike with eightpence!вЂ™ вЂFor the love of Christ, mate,вЂ™ the old hands advised me, вЂdonвЂ™t you take it in. If you were caught with tobacco there was hell to pay, and if you went in with money (which is against the law) God help you. When you came to be searched, he fair held you upside down and shook you.

You couldnвЂ™t call your soul your own when he was about, and many a tramp had he kicked out in the middle of the night for giving a back answer. He was a devil, everyone agreed, a tartar, a tyrant, a bawling. What talk there was ran on the Tramp Major of this spike.

We defiled the scene, like sardine-tins and paper bags on the seashore. Littered on the grass, we seemed dingy, urban riff-raff. Overhead the chestnut branches were covered with blossom, and beyond that great woolly clouds floated almost motionless in a clear sky. We just sprawled about exhaustedly, with home-made cigarettes sticking out of our scrubby faces. Forty-nine of us, forty-eight men and one woman, lay on the green waiting for the spike to open.
