Boer POWs Need for Freedom
In May 1901, at the capital and port or St Helena, Jamestown, two Boers swam to a Russian ship moored in the harbour but they were not permitted to board and were later recaptured. In the same month, camp security stopped a larger attempt to escape from Deadwood by a group of prisoners, a concerted attempt by a group of prisoners at Deadwood Camp was foiled by the authorities. In Bermuda, a small number of Boers broke loose in Darren's Island and for a long time eluded capture. There were a large number of Boer sympathisers who may have helped them.
