Atrocity-of-the-Week was reported from the north coast of Spain where mixed Anarchist-Basque-Red forces were still holding Bilbao (TIME, Sept. 21). Indignant at White air bombing of the city, Anarchist Militiawomen swarmed onto one of the three "prison ships" in the harbor aboard which White hostages were kept. Flying at these unarmed prisoners with knives, bayonets, and guns, the lady Anarchists killed a total of 220 of whom 30 were priests, mutilating and gashing until finally stopped by the intervention of Spanish Civil Guards.

Each of the crew of six boys who manned the Indra had paid $1,500 for the privilege of rigging her sails, holystoning her decks, polishing her brass every morning until June.

Oliveira Salazar soldiers marched the mutinous sailors to jail whence they expected to be sent to the Portuguese penal colony in the tropics. In an adroit proclamation the Portuguese Government...
Lifeboat Racing attracts huge crowds, probably because it costs nothing to watch. Competing crews of six passenger and freight steamships last week splashed off at the starter's gun, pulled up New York Harbor off the Bay Ridge shore where 250,000 strollers, motorists and apartment residents were watching. Each boat's weight, ascertained before the start, was 5,500 lb., with crew and ballast...
