Evacuation of Guiterra and ensuing actions reported
The report from Surveillante states Gui terra was evacuated at daybreak and occupied by Baron de Menglana s division. An explosion at the magazine near the mole caused heavy loss among inhabitants and fishermen. Spanish forces then retook the castle town and port, with their garrison of 136 men cut off from St Sebastian. Dispatches from Lisbon Madrid and London detail Allied plans to enter France and coordinated cautions on treating civilians.
