SURVEY OF DUISBERG
■ EVIIDENCE OF HEAVY DAAUGE IN BRITISH BOMBING ATTACKS. ENEMY NIGHT FIGHTERS EVADED. (British Official ’Wireless.) (Received This Day. 1.5 p.m.) RUGBY. July 26. More than fifty bombs ■ each of 4,0001b5. besides a great load of other heavy high-explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped on Duisberg last night by a strong force of bombers which attacked the city and port. Reconnaissance this’morning proved that fires were still burning and spreading smoke over the Ruhr.
Minute gatherings of low cloud indicated great heat rising from the city. To protect Duisberg against this third attack in five days, the Germans sent ■up more fighters than ever. They rose in clear moonlight and the bombers saw many Junkers and Messerschmitts searching for them, but the alertness of gunners and the skilful evasion of pilots baffled the enemy. One-crew saw and evaded four night fighters.
