smoke-screen was sent up by [the Japanese troops guarding the landing-feld in the vicinity of the University of Shangnai last night during a Chinese air-raid. It caused an enormous whitish cloud later to drift over the Whangpoo finally to be dissipated over Pootung.
Two incendiary bombs were dropped in Yangtszepoo by the plane during the raid, which lasted from 10.18 until 10.31 o'clock. One of the missiles set fire to a Chinese dwelling-house adjoining the No. 4 mill of the Shanghai Cotton Manufacturing Company, a Japanese factory, in Tsitsihar Road. The Shanghai Fire Brigade was requested to attend this fire at about 11.15 o'clock and an engine turned out from Yangtszepoo Fire Station. There was no ambulance call to the scene.
The raid, unlike the night before, provoked a brilliant display of antiaircraft fire from Japanese naval and land positions as formerly, while searchlights played on the heavens in an effort to spot the raider. The plane, however, got away safely and could later be heard, bound in a southerly direction, from The Bund.
'A number of shells fell that night in Yangtszepoo, but the damage caused by them could not be definitely ascertained at a late hour.
A second air-raid, from 11.28 to 1135 p.m. caused a hectic response from the Japanese anti-aircraft, guns, but the plane again escaped.
