BOMBING OF SHIP
FRANCO’S DENIAL. BRITAIN NOT SATISFIED. FURTHER PROTEST MADE. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received August 18, 12 noon. RUGBY, Aug. 17. Although no official reply lias yet been received from General Franco to the British protest against the bombing of the British Corporal, a reply has been handed to the British Vice Consul at Palma by the insurgent naval authorities denying any attack oil a vessel displaying the British colours and claiming that the markings of the aircraft involved in the attack indicate an attempt to imitate the markings of the Nationalist aircraft. As this reply is unacceptable to the British Government, flirtin'- instrnr. tions have been sent to tbe British Ambassador at Henctaye asking liim to bring to General Franco’s notice immediately the fact that the British Government is quite una'ble to accept the contention that the attack was carried out by aircraft other than those under insurgent control, a fact of which the British Government is completely satisfied.
