AT LEAST A FEW SHELLS CAUGHT UP WITH ITALIAN NAVY

A COMMUNIQUE issued by the Italians yesterday made it clear that the flight of an Italian fleet consisting of two battleships and ₫ a large escort of cruisers and destroyers from British warships on Wednesday morning was not entirely successful.

The British Admiralty communiqué said that our ships pursued the enemy and en- gaged them at extreme range. It made no claims about possible damage inflicted.~

The Italians yesterday admitted that at least one destroyer and one

"OUR TOWN" cruiser were hit.
