TOOK TO THEIR HEELS
WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT HEAVY ITALIAN CRUISERS. WHILE LIGHT BRITISH SHIPS DESTROYED CONVOY. LONDON, November 12. An Admiralty spokesman also announced that when the lighter British naval force annihilated the two convoys and dealt with part of the escort in the Mediterranean on November 9 the two Italian cruisers which had the job of protecting the convoys (10,000 ton ships armed with 8-inch guns) did not fire a single shot; in fact, they took to their heels, leaving their own destroyers.
