STOPPED AND SUNK
SPANISH CARGO SHIP
ACTION BY SUBMARINE
LONDON, June 6.
A message from Valencia states that <=even members of the crew of the Spanish cargo ship Eapido arrived at Alicante in an open boat. They assert that a submarine of unknown nationality stopped the Rapido at night and ordered them to abandon the ship, after which they sank her by gunfire. From Lisbon it is reported that 226 German volunteers arrived from Seville to embark for Germany, their contracts having expired. They include engineers, airmen, and mechanics. The French Chamber of Deputies has voted a sum of £200,000 to provide repatriation and succour for 5000 Frenchmen in Spain, including 931 volunteers who are anxious to return home.
