ARRESTED AT BREST
SPANISH LOYALISTS
ESCAPADE AT SEA
BREST, October 22,
Seven Spanish, loyalists stole revolvers and escaped from Corunna in a rowing boat. They boarded a rebel trawler in the offing and forced the captain to surrender, repeating this performance with a second trawler. They then placed three of their comrades aboard the first trawler and four aboard the second, and ordered the captains to go to Prance, arriving at Brest in three days. The authorities have arrested all hands and confiscated their arms. Six members of the crews asked to be sent to loyalist Spain.
