WILHELMSHAFEN
HEAVILY
HIT
LONDON
The
Koyal
Air
Force
dealt
a
heavy
blow
at
(be
great
German
naval
base
of
Wilhelmshafen
last
night.
First
planes

up
the
area
set
such
huge
and
extensive
fires
that
the
bombers
later
had
some
difficulty
in
accurately
finding
their
targets.
A
huge
area
was
set
ablaze
and,
doubtless,
large
damages
was
done
in
this
the
fortieth
and
probably
the
most
successful
raid
of
the
war
on
Wilhelmshafen.
The
attack
was
carried
out
in
bright
moon-lifht.
The
Koyal
Air
Force
last
night
also
carried
out
raids
on
docks,
airdromes
and
concentration
points
in
other
sections
of

as
well
as
on
the
occupied
areas
of

SOUTHAMPTON
LOST
LONDON
The
British
Admirally
announces
the
loss
of
the
9,000-ton
cruiser
Southampton
as
a
result
of
an
attack
by
German
and
Italian
bombers
in
the
battle
of
last
Friday
in
the
Straits
of
Sicily.
The
blazing
Southampton
was
so
badly
damaged
that
it
was
found
impracticable
to
tow
her
to
port
so
she
was
sunk
by
lier
own
crew.
The
great
majority
of
the
crew
was
saved.
The
aircraft
carrier
Illustrious
has
reached
the
comparative
safety
of
a
Mediterranean
port
where
repairs
are
being
tarried
out
to
damage
which
she
sustained
including
a
jagged
hole
In
her
side,
the
Illustrious
withstood
a
tremendous
Veven-hour
assault
and
there
were
many
deeds
of
valor
and
heroism.
Twelve
enemy
planes
were
brought
down.
The
dead
have
been
taken
out
for
burial
at

The
wounded
have
been
placed
