The defenders desperately counterattacked on the north, west and south sides, hut failed to break the Loyalist stranglehold. The Gibraltar correspondent of the Times 6ays the Spanish frontier has been reopened and the steamer service to Algeciras resumed. The insurgents announced that the Gibraltar frontier would be closed on December IG, and it was expected that General Franco’s big push would begin after that date.
