(Telegraphie Messages Ordinance 1894. Copyright by Datted Press. Re- ceived by wireless tetegraphy, July 4, 12.10 pon,, preblistien July 4, 3.35 p.m.). Swatow, July 4.
From the deck of U.S.S. Sacramento I obtained a bird's-eye view of the fearful carnage wrought by Japanese bombers which flew over Swatow during the latter part of last week,
First indication that Swatow was to suffer the fate of Canton and other Chinese cities came on Thursday afternoon when a solitary Japanese pursuit plane scouted over the city for an hour,
The lone plane made no attempt to bomb Swatow. But on Friday morning, nine Japanese bombers approached the city in close formation and we knew we were for it.
As soon as they appeared overhead the Japanese split their formation and, power-diving individually on their objectives, let forth a rain of death and destruction. The Swalow Military Head- quarters, ashor în close proximity to U.S.S. Sacramento, was one of the main objectives, and the Japan- esc dropped bomb ufter, bomb in its vicinity.
