CHILDREN BOMBED.

Account Of Wounded Aviator

Who Escaped.

Press Association—Copyright. Received 1.10 p.m. London, February 16

The Almeira correspondent of The Times says that an air-bombing of a children’s refuge, killing 57 children, was an isolated incident in the longdrawn, agony of the flight from Malaga, of which a wounded aviator, supplies an account. He was one of three out of 14. who escaped. They had flown out in the hope of facilitating the escape of thousands of fugitives, behind whom the rebels in tanks, mo-tor-cars and on foot, speeded their flight while the exhausted crowds were bombed from the sky and fired upon by several of 17 hostile warships, including German and Italian vessels. Twenty-four pursuit ’planes attacked the Loyalist' aircraft. The hands of one pilot were thrice .pierced, but he steered with his left hand and alighted on the water near the beach, where the occupants of his ’plane waded ashore carrying two dead comrades.
