REBEL PIRACY
NEUTRAL SHIPS & CARGOES SEIZED LATVIAN & GREEK SHIPS. CREWS COMPLAIN OF BAD TREATMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. GIBRALTAR, January 12. Eighty-four members of the crews of the Latvian steamer Everards and two Greek steamers, the Ilissos and the Nicolaou Eleni, arrived unexpectedly in Ilissos today.
The captains of the Everards and'the Nicolaou Eleni told how, when they were captured by rebel armed trawlers, they were forced to steam to Ceuta to discharge their cargoes, after which Spanish crews were placed aboard the steamers, which proceeded •to sea. The Greek and Latvian crews were imprisoned, but eventually released and permitted to sail in the Ilissos, whose cargo was also confiscated.
None of the ships was bound for Spanish ports. Two carried coal to Oran and the third sugar to Marseilles. The members of the crews complained of bad treatment and bad food.
