Says Gen. Sikorski In London Speech

HOW two attacks on a convoy in the North Sea by

German bombing 'planes were beaten off in "a barrage of black puffs" from naval escort vessels was vividly described in a B.B.C. broadcast by a naval man who was aboard the leading escort vessel.

After describing how the warships convoyed the merchant vessels without incident until nightfall the broadcaster went on:
