Rec. 10.30 p.m. London, "Sept. 23. Ghastly sulphurous glows filling the sky in quick succession added a new feature to the terrifying spectacle over London during the night. The glows appeared too prolonged for shell bursts and too short for flares, although they illuminated big areas. Both plane and anti-aircraft activity was exceptionally slight during the first : two hours of the night alarm, which .was 'sounded earlier than usual. Then raidI ers attacked in groups of three or four, the barrage opened with a thunderous Iroll and there was not a moment's peace j for over an hour. High explosive bombs i were dropped in the south-east and the | north-west. , , ■ The all clear signal sounded in the London area much earlier than usual, but after a short respite the sirens again i sounded, after which bombs fell m the j central London area.
