ESCAPE BY TUNNEL.
SINN FEINERS AT LIBERTY. CLEVER PLOT SUCCEEDS. By Telegraph.—-Tress Assn.—Copyright. Received September 11, 5.5 p.m. London, Sept. 10. Over forty Sinn Fein prisoners in an internment camp near the Curragh escaped by a secret tunnel. The prisoners dug beneath their hute, working night after night, and completed the tunnel beyond the limits of the camp. They cleverly concealed the debris, which they removed, and passage with wood from the floors of the propped up the sides of the underground huts. They finally escaped during a concert which other prisoners were giving in the camps which a number of guards were enjoying. The escapees are now in the heart of the neighboring hills. No arrests have been made.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
