The incident occurred at Wuhu at 0.10 a.m. Four direct hits landed on the Ladybird where all the casual- ties occurred. The Sulwo also suffer- ed a direct hit...
The Ladybird, which was anchor- ed at the A.P.C. installation, Imme- diately got under way when the bar- rage began and was fired at until out of range.
The Dee, which is flagship of the Yangtze fleet, had just arrived from Nanking when the firing began.

British Return Fire
Several British ships a couple of miles up-river from Nanking, includ- ing H.M.S. Scarab and H.M.S. Cricket, were subjected to three separate Japanese air attacks be- tween 1.30 and 3 p.m. No casualties have been reported so it is assumed that there were no direct hits.
The Scarab and Cricket returned the fire with their anti-aircraft arm ment, comprising machine-guns and pompoms.
The Admiralty, Foreign Ofce and Admiral Sir Charles Little, Comman- der-in-Chief of the China Fleet, who is on his way to Hongkong on H.M.S. Falmouth, have been inform- ed of the attacks and representations have been made to the Japanese military and naval authorities here,
The chips involved went up the river from Nanking, when the Japan- ese began their attack on the former cupltal-Reuter.
