A Long Continued Air Raid
A Gisborne resident now in England, writes as follows: “The air raid warnings furnished an effective test of the steadiness of Londoners. One woman who retired to the basement of her house on hearing the sirens l.dure failed to hear the ‘all clear’ signal -ater, and stayed submerged for three davs. She explained later that she thought it* was a long raid, but as she had plenty of food and rugs, she felt quite- at ease.’’
