Investigation into Tuesday after-moon's bombing of the Pootoo Read district by the Japanese disclosed yesterday that a Chinese brewery worker was killed and thirteen Chinese, including three women, were wounded. A squadron of bombers seeking to hit Chinese positions near the Central Mint, across the Soochow Creek, wrought havoc on the Settle-side of the stream in the vicinity of the Ichang Road Fire Station and the Union Brewery. Hundreds of windows were broken at the Brewery, showering the creek bank below with splintered glass.
The inquest over the body of the late brewery worker was held yesterday.
