LONDON, May 20.
The Grimsby trawler Jezia was fifteen miles off the White Sea coast when a Bolshevik gunboat signalled that she was under arrest. The Jeria's captain pretended to misunderstand the signals and countered the gunboats manoeuvres to head the Jena into land till dusk, when she made a dash for liberty, with the gunboat in close pursuit. The Jeria fired distress rockets. The British gunboat Qodotia hastened to the scene with her guns uncovered, and the Bolshevik vessel slunk away to the shore.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
