SAVED BY WELSH DOCKERS
SPANISH REPUBLICAN OFFICERS TO BE SENT TO MEXICO Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 20. Welsh dockers intervened and saved the lives of two Spanish Republican officers who were condemned to death in Spain in June. They broke gaol and stowed away on a British ship which was going to Cardiff, but were lodged in gaol there pending deportation. Later the officers leaped out of the ship which was taking them to Spain and swam ashore in the Bristol Channel, where dockers aided and sent them to a welfare home. They are arranging to send them to Mexico.
