WHILE MORE BOMBS whistled down and Ger- man planes droned overhead. a dozen nuns, clasp- ing the hand and gown of their Mother Superior. knelt on the wreckage-strewn lawn of their bombed convent and prayed for the people trapped in the shelter beneath. All they could do was to pray. By a miracle they themselves had escaped death.

While they were reciting evening prayers in the little chapel of their convent in London one night DANCING IN 6 HOURS the building received two direct hits from a stick of

five high explosives.

and prayed.

"I nearly broke my heart to hear the cries of the wounded and not be able to get to them. We are nursing sisters--yet we could do nothing to help."

A warden said: "The nuns had done everything in their power to make the people who shelter in the convent basement as happy and comfortable as possible,

"They had even made cradles for the babies."

Errand Saved Her

اله

In the anxious crowd which waited all day behind barriers for news of the rescue work was girl. Rene Turner who owed her safety to an errand.

With her mother and father, Rene was in the shelter during the early part of the raid. Her father asked her to buy fish and chips,

While she was away the con- vent was bombed, Rene's father was freed from the wreckage suf- fering from broken legs. Last night her mother had not been found,

"I am a lucky girl,” was. all. Rene could say.

A young second-leutenant--was one of the heroes of the rescue work. With tons of loosened ma-j? sonry threatening to collapse on top of him, he wormed his way through narrow trenches to reach the injured,

"I was able to do it because I'm so slim," he said.

The bulk of the damage in the night's raid in the Bir- mingham area was to dwelling and shop property, but schools, several churches, a bank, a cinema and a police station were concern- ed in "Incidents."

Considering the scale of the at- tack, casualties were surprisingly low, but some were fatal.
