Refugees Fail To Reach Haifa Shores
Nearly a hundred Jewish refugees on the Palmakh leaped overboard and swam for Haifa shore but were rounded up within two hours by the British army and navy. Earlier, 800 to 900 Jews aboard the 200 ton schooner were halted in a sea battle that cost one life. The dead man’s burial deadline pressed as Haifa shops closed and rabbis led protests against the British refusal to hand over the killed refugee’s body. Troops surrounded the port area as deportation plans to Cyprus were arranged.
