The docks at Brest, from which enemy. sur-

face raiders and sub- marines attack British shipping in the Atlantic, were heavily bombed for | nearly two hours on Sun- day night by aircraft of the Bomber Command, states the Air Ministry news service.

No direct hits on the cruiser were actually seen but several pi- lots reported that their bombs must either have fallen on the vessel or so close as to damage it. Certainly the docks themselves suffered very badly.
