London, Jan. 19. IHE presence of fighter patrols of the Royal Air Force over the Norih Sea is making it steadily more difficult for Germany's latest activities on the sea in form of mine-laying by seaplanes, and indiscriminate bombing and machine-gunning of merchantmen and fishing boats, according to an authoritative source.
Since the commencement of the patrols, there have only been one or two instances of mine-laying by seaplanes.
Coastal Command aircraft of the Royal Air Force on daily reconnaissauce patrols have destroyed a number of German raiders.—Reuter.
