The Ertzaintza and the Basque Army seized two Spanish vessels. José Luis Díez and Císcar were destroyers who were acquired at the request of the republican authorities. The crews of both boats, with the attitudes shown up until then, were not ruling stewards and occupied their place nearly 200 officers and sailors from the Basque Army. José Luis Díez had been standing for a month on the pretext of reparations, and the Ciscar often demonstrated indiscipline.
