INTERNED FASCISTS
f ESCAPE TUNNEL FOUND AT PEEL SOME FURTHER DISORDERS. DEMANDS FOR STERNER CONTROL. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, September 29. A sentry in the Peel Internment Camp discovered the recent secret of the escape of three internees. It is a tunnel burrowed from the centre of the camp to a field. The burrowing must have occupied weeks, but the men avoided detection by distributing throughout the camp the earth dug out. The tunnel has now been sealed. Fighting broke out between internees last night and doctors treated the injured in the morning. Demands are growing for much sterner measures. The Governor of the Island informed the Peel Town Commissioners that stops were being taken for the better protection of the townspeople. The camp authorities announced a curtailment of visits by internees' wives and a weekly ten shilling limit for parcels for internees.
