This was providential because, as a result, we did not reach Lübeck Bay in time to board the ships that were supposed to take us to our watery grave. Finally, after 12 days and a march of over 100 miles [march of some 200 km], we reached Crivitz Wood.
Olime tõesti õnnega koos, sest tänu sellele ei jõudnud me õigeks ajaks Lübecki lahte, kus pidanuksime minema laevale, mis oleks meid ilmselt meie veehauda sõidutanud. 12 päeva pärast, kui olime maha käinud umbes 200 kilomeetrit, jõudsime viimaks Crivitzi metsa.
