Stowaways threaten boat personnel

london - Four stowaways on the Italian cargo ship Grande Tema threaten the boat personnel. They demand that they be brought near the coast so that they can swim to land from there.

The four stowaways were discovered earlier this week and then locked up in a cabin. There they got meals from the boat staff. But this morning they managed to break out and turned out to be barbers. They threatened the personnel with iron bars and demanded to be transported to the coast. But the 27 employees- of Italian and Filipino origin- managed to escape and to lock themselves up on the ship's bridge.
