    one. The Coastguards were ordered out and their furniture was removed before it was set on fire.
    About eight P.M. a crowd of "Sinn Fein" went there with guns and petrol, prepared to fight if necessary. The Coastguards thought they were too small in number to offer any resistance and they surrendered. The people then went into the Coast Guard Station and set it on fire but the furniture was saved.
