MASSAWA
HOW A SLOOP of the Royal Indian Navy was responsible for the capture of two Italian islands off Massawa and how a small party from the same vessel chased and finally cap- tured a party of Italian soldiers, including a brigadier-general and a colonel who tried to escape in a dhow, is recounted in a despatch received in Simla yesterday.
The sloop, commanded by an officer from Poona who was the first officer to hold a commission in the Royal Naval Reserve, was ordered after the fall of Massawa, to clean up the islands of Nocra and Dahlak, where the Italians were still in occupation.
