Spinning And Carding Units Damaged: Fire Fought At 140 am. yesterday, during one of the Chinese air-raids, an incendiary bomb struck the Ewo Cotton Mill in Yangtszepoo Road. Fire broke out in the worsted spinning room. A fire call was turned in by the Indian staff on duty and the Shanghai Fire Brigade ascertained that bomb fragments had also penetrated the carding room. The Indian staff and the First Brigade extinguished the fire and an investigation was made to see if any further damage had been caused.
A second fire, also believed to have been caused by an incendiary bomb, was reported from the Vu Foong Cotton Mill, Tinghai Road. On the Brigade turning out, it was found that a party of Japanese were working on the fire and had it under control. Six staff houses were understood to be affected by the blaze.
Several other bombs fell in Chinese territory, north of the eastern part of Yangtszepoo and apparently did considerable damage.
