Liverpool May 3.
Livernool and Merseyside were heavily bombed on Sunday night—the fourth successive night this district has trembled under the blows of the Luftwaffe.
Saturday night's sustained attack had left a pall of smoke hanging over the port on Sunday. Amidst broken masonry and tumbled piles of bricks, rescue parties searched throughout the day for citizens trapped in the debris.
The death toll, which inevitably will be very large, mounted hour by hour as the bodies of additional victims were discovered. One hospital which was hit directly on Saturday night sheltered 400 patients, many of whom were killed. Several attendants at the hospital and a group of ambulance drivers who were in the hospitals rest room were killed.
