...Bakunin battalion made up entirely of dockworkers from Barcelona, broke into Huesca at nine in the morning, but was checked for four hours by 26 machine-guns installed on a church roof and belfry, which vomited livid death into the front ranks of the Popular Frontists as they entered the main square. Shortly after noon two Anarchists, Amadeo Salvan and Fernández Ubarri, loaded themselves with sacks of dynamite weighing 40 lbs. each, and made a dash for the church, each with a split fuse held in one hand and a lighted cigaret in the other.
