Captain Scott, of the Stancroft, a sister ship of the Stanbrook, reporting on the air raids on Barcelona in which splinters struck a majority of the twelve British ships in harbour, declared that British masters were disgusted with the Government for not protesting against Hitler and Mussolini trampling on the British flag, which now ranked below the Panama ensign.
