OF JAPANESE SHIPPING IN S.W. PACIFIC ENEMY SHIP SUNK OFF NEW GUINEA. SEVERAL OTHERS DAMAGED. LONDON, November 17. Allied aircraft in the South-West Pacific are keeping up their attacks on Japanese airfields in the Northern Solomons and on enemy shipping. An airfield in Bougainville was one of the targets bombed today. Catalinas on patrol sank a merchant ship, off Hansa Bay, in New Guinea, and also hit another ship —a vessel of .6,000 tons—sailing in convoy. In the latest operations seven Japanese planes have been destroyed and five probably destroyed. On Monday Allied aircraft attacked enemy shipping in the Marshall and Gilbert islands areas. One* enemy ship was set on fire and three others were damaged. No enemy aircraft were encountered, but the anti-aircraft fire was intense.
