Execution in Bastia Disturbs Pampliani and Fire Strikes Town
Reports describe Fabio the rebel killed and his head displayed on a pole with a warning. Pampliani, after learning of a false landing alarm, sends troops to Bastia where partisan forces burn houses including the Pinelli castle. He vows revenge but can muster only a portion of his army, ordering a night raid by 50 men to set fires in several locations, while ongoing coastal and town garrisons limit other actions.
