Two More Raids

Just before 1 o'clock this morning, the third air raid of the night threw the Japanese warships into activity. The raid was very brief, the plane apparently not even flying over the northern districts. The Japanese anti-aircraft fire was directed over the Central District for a few moments before the plane veered away.

At 1.35 o'clock came the fourth raid, also of short duration. Whether bombs were dropped or not could not be ascertained up to going to press.
