In “Death Under Gibraltar,” published by Victor Gollancz, he tells of
a secret tunnel connecting Gibraltar with Morocco.
His book will again raise the big controversy which has been debated for centuries. Is there a tunnel which would jeopardise the safety of the Rock ?
"Talk to the oldest inhabitants of Gibraltar and they will swear to you that the tunnel exists," said Mr. Newman.
"Dozens of parties have sought for the tunnel in the caves which honey-comb the Rock and have failed to find it. But they still believe in its existence.
"Any man who has served at Gibraltar will assure you of one fact-that one day you may find dozens of apes, whereas the next you will search the entire Rock and not come across a single one. Where do they come from and where do they go?
"The answer seems to be that they use the nature-made tunnel
to the Rock."
