Both boats had been designed by

America’s greatest naval architects.
The “City of Buffalo” was designed
for overnight freight and passenger

the revolt as “Fascist,” said during
the afternoon the rebellion on the

Monday night, British reports from

Although French sources heard the
south of Spain and Barcelona were in
