Keeping an enemy had become a trouble for Dr. Sadao and his wife. In what way was Dr. Sadao able to save himself from the trouble?

Solution

Since Dr. Sadao was keeping an enemy at his house and he was becoming the cause of great stress, tension, trouble and fear for him. Even the General failed to send his assassins, so Dr. Sadao worked out a plan and apprised the soldier about his return and safety.

It was pointed out by Dr. Sadao that he would put his boat with extra clothing, medicines and other essentials on the shore that night. He would row it to the little island which was not far off from the coast. The island is inhabited. He would have a Korean fishing boat. The American soldier agreed and pulled that boat down to the shore. Dr. Sadao arranged everything for the prisoner. He gave him some instructions. In case he ran short of food he would flash two signals when the sun sets. If he was all right and was on the island he would flash one. The man escaped in the night and Dr. Sadao got no flash of light in the twilight. So the soldier had safely boarded the Korean fishing boat. Thus Dr. Sadao was able to get rid of the soldier.
