Brest, Sept. 25.

The commander of the Spanish submarine C 4, Capt. Juan Miguel las Haras, with 11 men armed with machine- guns, boarded the Spanish Government submarine C 2 in Brest Harbour last night, overpowered the crew, and attempted to take the submarine to sea and hand it over to the Nationalists.

He told the commander of the C 2, Capt. Ferrando, that he had gone over to Gen. Franco and offered him 3,000,000 pesetas--nominally £41,700—to join him with his ship,

Capt. Ferrando, refused, and the raiders bound and gagged him and his skeleton crew and ordered the chief engineer to start the engines. It was then discovered that the batteries had run down.

While the men were discussing the position one of the C 2's crew escaped to the conning tower, locked himself in after shooting one of the raiders, and sounded the submarine's siren.

The assailants fled, taking Capt. Ferrando and the chief engineer with them. To-day a car containing six of the raiders, including Capt. las Haras and the two prisoners, was stopped near Bordeaux, 360 miles south of Brest on the way to Spain. The raiders were arrested. other weapons, approached the quay by another route.

When Capt. Ferrando refused the bribe offered him to go over to the Nationalists the raiders covered him with their machine-guns, and las Haras gave orders for him and the rest of the crew of the C2 to be bound with handcuffs and cord brought for the purpose.

After their attempt to start the engines had failed the raiders dis- covered that one member of the crew of the C2, Augustine Diego, was in the conning lover.
