LONDON, May 20, (Received May 21, at 11.5 a.m.)
The Grimsby trawler Jeria was fifteen miles off tho White Sea coast, when a Bolshevik gunboat signalled that she was under arrest. Tho Jeria’s captain pretended to misunderstand 1 tho signals, and countered tho gunboat's manoeuvres to head tho Jeria into land till dusk came, when she made a dash for liberty, with tho gunboat in dose pursuit. The Jeria fired distress rockets, and the British gunboat Godetia hastened to the scene with her guns uncovered. The Bolshevik vessel then slunk away to the shore. —A. and N.Z. Cablet
