St. Jean de Luz, Oct. 18. Extraordinary enthusiasm for the British Navy's work in rescuing refugees from Spanish danger-spots was proved by the behaviour of the people of Babao when the destroy er, H.M.S. Esk, brought 44 refugee children from Navarre and San

Sebastian 10-day.

The town was decorated with flags and people lined the streets shouting" frantically,

"Viva Escuadra Inglesa)" as the naval escort took the children to the British Consulate.

This enthusiasm is in striking con- trast to the execration voiced by the crowd a few days ago when the children, due to arrive overlund by lorries, were left behind on the route when the lorries found themselves in danger of sticking in the mud. The lorries arrived at Bilbao without the children and the crowd threatened to lynch the drivers.

Defendant denied that he abducted the giel, and said she followed him and lived together with him.

Inspector E. J. Ellis, attached to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs, who prosecuted, said defendant made no effort to help the mother trace the girl, although he knew where she was all the time.

Questioned by the Magistrate as to why the followed defendant, the girl denied having done so, and said de- fendant had deceived her. She alleged that defendant met her, and asked her to go over with him to Hongkong to see, a cinema

show. When they got to Hongkong, defen- dant suggested that she accompany him to Canton for a couple of days, and said there was nothing to be afraid of. She told him her mother. did not know, and would worry about her, but defendant said he would write and let the mother know she was with him. It was on this pro-

mlse that she accompanied him, and he later persuaded her to go with him to his native village, again promising to write and let the mother know.

tis Worship remarked that he was not so sure that the girl was so willing to go with defendant, as she had made out, but, in any case, the fact that defendant had not informed the mother of the girl's whereabouts was sufficiently serious. He would therefore sentence defendant to six months' hard labour to make him realise that abduction must be treated as a very serious matter.
