ESCAPE FROM DETENTION.
MILITARY PRISONER AT LARGE.
A military prisoner, Private Dennis Gunn, escaped recently from tho detention barracks at Devonport, and is still at large. Gunn had been assisting in the cookhouse, and apparently, in the course of his duties, went to the back of the building with a " dixie" in his hand. As he did not return within a few minutes the sentry went in search, and eventually found a rope, consisting of strands of rope and towel, hanging from tho top of the fence at a spot where there was a fair drop to tho beach.
