After Lt. Harmon landed in the lake near the Yangtze river, he had managed to stay underneath his parachute until the Zeros circling overhead had left.  Relieved that the Zeros had left and that he was still alive, he decided to make some plans.   Lt. Harmon showed up to base after 32 days behind enemy lines wearing the uniform of a Chinese Soldier.  On December 2, 1943, while Lt. Harmon was still in China, a New York Times article reported that he had been aided by Chinese guerrillas using a version of the Civil War Underground railroad.  However, the details on how he was able to evade capture by the Japanese remains classified.
