Pirates in the former Thai fishing trawler " Prantalay 14 " resisted and attacked the Indian Navy warship " Cankarso " and , in a long surface action off Minicoy Island , the Indians sank the hostile ship and rescued twenty captives . Battle . The " Prantalay 14 " had operated as a pirate mothership in the Indian Ocean for several months before her sinking . Early in the morning of January 28 , Indian Coast Guard Dornier aircraft on a routine patrol detected two skiff s and the " Prantalay 14 " chasing the Bahamian container ship MV " Verdi " 300 miles west of the Lakshadweep Islands . The pirates in the skiffs spotted the aircraft and immediately abandoned the attack and sailed back to the " Prantalay 14 " . The aircraft reported the sighting and three Indian Navy ships were dispatched , including the 325 ton INS " Cankarso " . A Car Nicobar fast attack craft under the command of Commander Arun Bahuguna . " Cankarso " was armed with a 30 - millimeter CRN 91 naval gun and two 12 . 7 - millimeter machine gun s . A few hours after receiving the Coast Guard ' s report " Cankarso " found the " Prantalay 14 " about 100 nautical miles north of Minicoy . The " Cankarso " s radioman tried to contact the pirates , but was ignored , so a warning shot was fired towards the pirates , who returned fire with rocket propelled grenade s and AK - 47 s . An exchange of fire commenced and lasted for twelve hours before shots from the CRN 9 heavily damaged the trawler . Fuel drums that were stowed on the upper deck ignited and the " Prantalay 14 " began to burn . At that point the survivors abandoned ship so the Indians ceased firing . Thirty - five men went into the water , of whom fifteen were pirates and twenty were Thai and Myanmarese sailors on the vessel when the pirates captured it . Ten pirates were killed in the engagement , and the rest were taken to Mumbai in the " Cankarso " as prisoners . There are no indications that any Indian sailors were harmed . Mumbai Police have confirmed that they have registered a case against the pirates for attempt to murder and various other provisions under the Indian Penal Code and Foreigners Act after entering national waters without authorization . " Prantalay 14 " burned for hours before sinking , during which the INS " Kalpeni " and the Coast Guard ship CGS " Sankalp " arrived and assisted in rescue operation s . A week or so later , Indian naval forces of Operation Island Watch captured the " Prantalay 11 " , another former Thai trawler which had been captured by pirates .
4th Missouri Volunteer Infantry ( 3 months , 1861 ) The 4th Missouri Volunteers evolved from one of several unofficial pro - Unionist militia units formed semi - secretly in St . Louis in the early months of 1861 by Congressman Francis Preston Blair , Jr . and other Unionist activists . The organization that would become the Fourth Missouri was largely composed of ethnic Germans , who were generally opposed to slavery and strongly supportive of the Unionist cause . Although initially without any official standing , beginning on April 22 , 1861 four militia regiments Blair helped organize were sworn into Federal service at the St . Louis Arsenal by Captain John Schofield acting on the authority of President Lincoln . The 4th Missouri Volunteer Infantry evolved out of a pre - existing German hunting society " Die Schwarzen Jäger " . Upon entry into Federal service the members of the new Fourth Missouri elected Nicolaus Schuettner colonel of the regiment . The new Missouri Volunteer regiments , subsequently elected ( then ) Captain Nathaniel Lyon as the brigadier general of the new brigade of Missouri volunteers . President Lincoln would later confirm Lyon ' s promotion from Captain to Brigadier general . Military Service . On May 10 , 1861 the 1st Missouri under Colonel Blair participated in the arrest of the Missouri Volunteer Militia drilling at Camp Jackson at Lindell Grove on the western border of St . Louis City . As the Missouri militiamen were being march under guard back to the Arsenal near the riverfront , angry crowds confronted the Federal forces and the confused situation soon devolved into rioting and gunfire . Over 27 people were killed and the Camp Jackson Affair helped to polarize the state and send Missouri down the road to its own internal civil war . On May 21 , 1861 , Western Department commander Brigadier General William S . Harney ordered the Fourth Missouri to Bird ' s Point , Missouri to fortify that strategic point on the Mississippi River . After that the regiment moved to Cairo , Illinois , directly across the Mississippi River from Bird ' s Point , and the site of Fort Defiance , which guarded the junction of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers . The regiment subsequently returned to St . Louis and carried out an expedition to Fulton , Missouri while two of its companies carried out guard duty along Pacific Railroad . The regiment was mustered out July 30 , 1861 . While many of the members of the regiment subsequently enlisted in 3 - Year regiments , the original 4th Missouri was not continued as a 3 - Year regiment . It does not share lineage with the 4th Missouri Volunteer Infantry ( 3 Years Service ) created by the consolidation of the Gasconade Battalion and 3rd Regiment United States Reserve Corps in January , 1862

John Herbert King John Herbert King , alias ' MAG ' , was a British Foreign Office cypher clerk who provided Foreign Office communications to the Soviet Union between 1935 and 1937 . He was sentenced to 10 years in prison as a spy in October 1939 . King was recruited by the Foreign Office as a temporary clerk in 1934 and sent to the British Delegation at the League of Nations in Geneva . There his financial problems made him vulnerable to an approach by Henri Pieck , a Dutch citizen who was working for Soviet intelligence . Pieck recruited him as a spy , pretending the information he gave was only to be used for commercial advantage by a Dutch bank . King returned to London in early 1935 . Pieck continued to run the case by visits to London until 1936 , when the job of running King was transferred to Theodore Maly . King continued to pass copies of Foreign Office telegraphic traffic to Maly until June 1937 , when Maly was recalled to Moscow . In September 1939 the Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky exposed King ' s name as a spy for the Soviet Union to the British Embassy in Washington . Coincidentally a business associate of Pieck ' s in London reported suspicious activities by him and described a man like King who had given information to Pieck . King was subsequently interrogated , resulting in a confession . Although the official British archives only implicate King with passing information to the Soviets from 1935 to 1937 , information passed on by King is elsewhere credited with giving Joseph Stalin valuable insight into British diplomatic activities aimed at containing Adolf Hitler as late as 1939 . At times this information was passed on by the Soviets to the German Embassy in London , with the aim of increasing the tension between Britain and Germany . Sometimes as little as 5 hours elapsed between a telegram being received at the Foreign Office and a summary of its contents being transmitted to Berlin .

Equites Dalmatae The equites Dalmatae ( Latin for " Dalmatian horsemen " ) were a class of cavalry in the Late Roman army . They were one of several categories of cavalry unit or " vexillatio " created between the 260s and 290s as part of a poorly understood reorganization and expansion of Roman cavalry forces . These new cavalry " vexillationes " , typically bearing the basic regimental designation " equites " , mostly originated as detachments of existing mounted units ( " ala e " , " cohortes equitatae " , " equites legionis " ) , which were separated from their parent corps and later constituted as independent units . The " equites Dalmatae " were the largest category of the new cavalry " vexillationes " . At the beginning of the fifth century , the " Notitia Dignitatum " lists 48 units of " equites Dalmatae " or " cunei Dalmatarum " deployed throughout the Roman Empire ( 31 in the West ; 17 in the East ) . The earliest documentation relates to the reign of Gallienus ( 260 - 268 ) . The titular component " " Dalmatae " " probably refers to the geographical region in which these units were raised and / or originally stationed , namely the provinces of the western Balkans which formed the core of Gallienus ’ truncated empire . They possibly originated as detachments of " alae " and " cohortes equitatae " available to Gallienus in these provinces . The " equites Dalmatae " appear to have contributed to the victories of Claudius II ( 268 - 270 ) over the Goths in 269 , and they participated in Aurelian ’ s reconquest of Palmyra in 272 - 3 . Subsequently , probably under the Tetrarchy or Constantine I , most of the " equites Dalmatae " were permanently assigned to the garrisons of frontier provinces .
