An official of the steamship company which owns the Farnham, latest British vessel to be bombed by Nationalist planes in Alicante, stated today that the members of the vessel's crew were all British. The merchantman carried a cargo of supplies, notably sugar.
A nort-intervention observer boarded the vessel at Gibraltar and must have been a witness to the bombing, the official concluded, The owners of the Arlen, bombed in Valencia this morning, declared that it was possible that the vessel was in Valencia but they had received no confirmation of the bombing. The ship was recently repaired in Marseilles and is the 56th British vessel to have been bombed since the beginning of the Spanish conflict.—Havas.
