Reunion of Gibraltar Brothers After Fifteen Years apart
A Times reporter recalls a poignant meeting of three brothers born in Gibraltar and raised in Alexandria. The elder spokesman Kyrth tells how the family first warned them away from sea life, how the two older brothers defied their parents, and how a perilous voyage aboard a Norwegian bark shaped their youth before the estranged siblings finally reunited in Egypt years later.
