DISTURBED BY BOMB
SANATORIUM DAMAGED NURSES IN DANGER (United Press Assn.—Eiee. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 9, 11 a.m.) LONDON, August 8 Three hundred children from the poorer northern counties were asleep at a sanatorium when bombs fell nearby. A nurse said the children behaved magnificently. They stayed quietly in bed and went to sleep when the excitement abated. Many windows and doors were smashed. A bomb fell just behind the nurses’ home, where 150 nurses, maids and other staff workers were asleep. There were no casualties. Raiders flew high over two southeast coastal towns this morning and dropped a bomb on north-east England. There was no damage and no casualties.
The Air Ministry states that during an attack against shipping in the Channel a number of engagements occurred between our fighters and enemy planes. It is now confirmed that at least six enemy dive-bombers and three fighters were shot down over the channel. Two of our pilots are missing.
