These two aeroplanes circled over Sha U Chung two

or three times and dropped altogether about 10 bombs which fell

on the hillside, seashore and near the Customs House. One bomb

hit the roof of the Customs House, demolishing the roof. I heard

2 bursts of machine gun fire.

I did not see any of these 2 planes fly over the

Ferry Launch "Tai Pang". This raid lasted about 15 minutes.

The raiders then left in the direction of Ping Shan, Chinese

territory.
