Plymouth, Dec. 4.-Wind and sea

posse of suffragettes who had planned
to prevent the re-arrest of Mrs. EN-.
incline Pankhurst under the provi-
sion of the "cat and mouse" act.
A heavy sea was running in the
harbor when the steamship Majestic
anchored shortly after noon. The
waves, while they did not affect the
powerful police tug, were too much for
the little motor boats which the milf
tant suffragettes had engaged to head
off the policemen, The occupants,
who included General Mrs. Flora
Drummond, and other leaders, were
drenched to the skin before they
reached the liner.
The Majestic, under police orders,
had anchored outside the breakwater.
The sea delayed the little suffragette
warship so much that it did not ar
rive at the side Of the big liner until

cites, armed with clubs, was kept
standing off and the armed body

Bodies of suffragettes were on guard
outside all the prisons in the south
west of England to which it was
thought Mrs Pankhurst might be
taken. During the night at Bristol
the women took sentry duty in re-
lays outside the jails, were attacked
by a hostile crowd and several peo-
pie were hurt in the struggles.
