BOMBED & SUNK
ENEMY SUPPLY’ SHIP IN WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) RUGBY, September 20.
The success of an attack on an enemy ship of 200 or 300 tons, in the Western Mediterranean on Thursday evening, is confirmed by evidence now available, says the Air Ministry news service. The vessel, which was carrying supplies to Rommel, was hit fair and square, just abaft the funnel, by at least one bomb. She was also severely shot up by both cannon and machinegun fire. As the attackers flew away, the ship was listing heavily to port, with a great deal of oil pouring from her. Aircraft later found wreckage extending for over half a mile.
