Last Sunday night the Belfast police rescued a man who
had been secretly kept a prisoner by Sinn Feiners in the very heart of the city. Tho police rushed the Republican armed guards outside the prison and carried off the prisoner, Arthur Hunt, an Ulster Loyalist who had served in the Navy during the War. He was to have been executed on Monday morning. Hunt had been kidnapped a fortnight before and since then nothing had been heard of him. It is now learned that he had been moved about at night from place to place by an armed gang. The place of his captivity was a miserable room at the tbp of an old building. The Belfast police say that the Sinn Feiners had used this den for confining other kidnapped Loyalists. They say, further, that there are other such prisons in Belfast. When Hunt was rescued he presented a pitiable spectacle, unkempt and lean, with a bandage over his head which bore a nasty wound. " The poor fellow broke down," says the correspondent of the Mornina Post, " and sobbed like a child in his first sensations of relief."
