ESCAPE FROM REBELS
SEVEN SPANISH GIRLS
CLAD TO RISK THEIR LIVES
LONDON, November 2.
The Gibraltar correspondent of the "Daily Herald" says that, exhausted and shivering, seven Spanish girls fleeing from rebel Spain landed at Gibraltar at dawn after escaping from Algeciras in a tiny boat which they rowed all night in the teeth of a gale.
The Gibraltar authorities fined them 10s each for landing without permission, but they declared that they were glad to risk their lives and pay the fines in preference to remaining under General Franco's tyranny.
They added: "Rebels commandeered all the available working-class women and sent them north for concentration camp work, while the richer girls parade the streets arm in arm with German and Italian officers."
