GERMAN RAIDERS
LOW-LEVEL ATTACKS .ON BRITAIN. CASUALTIES & DAMAGE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, October 22. Three raiders bombed a south-east coast tot’pi early this morning and wrecked nouses and business premises. Rescue squads dug out trapped people and there were some casualties, 'rhe raiders swooped in low from the Channel, just skimming the water, with their machine-guns blazing. The first bomb struck the beach, bounced over high buildings on the promenade and then demolished a house beyond. Other bombs directly hit buildings and littered the streets with wreckage. Two daylight raiders dived rrom low clouds and dropped bombs on an East Anglian village, causing a number of deaths. One raider came so low that bombs were seen to hit a street, bounce over a row of cottages and then fall on a workmen’s housing site, where most of the casualties occurred. Nine bodies have thus far been recovered and a number of people have been injured.
