BRITISH OFFICER HAS NARROW ESCAPE IN BOMBING OF SANDPIPER
Changsha, To-day.
A Central News representative, visiting the British gunboat Sandpiper, which was bombed by Jap- anese warplanes on Monday, found that several parts of her superstructure, the funnel and a life-boat were holed by bomb splinters and two front cabins were wrecked.
In an interview which took place in one of the dam- aged cabins, the captain of the vessel, Lieut. Cmdr. W. E. J. Eames, told the representative that the Japanese attack could not have been carried out by mistake as the British ensign was painted in two places distinctly visible from overhead.
