KIDNAPPED A SHIP
YOUNG NORWEGIANS’ COUP London, May 9. A Norwegian ship, with her crew and cargo, was recently kidnapped by a group of young Norwegians and brought safely to a British port. The captors operated a carefully-prepared plan and boarded the vessel as passengers, one or two at a time, at various ports of call. Then they overpowered the crew at the point, of the revolver and navigated according to a previously-worked-out course. A British reconnaissance machine later spotted the trawler and guided her through minefields to a British Port, which she reachad on March 17.
