The steamer was making the rounds of Nightships with retlef crews when the Nazl plane swept down on her,

Bombs struck the ship, and machine-guns raked the decks, wounding 32 of the 40 men on board.

BUCKLED PLATES and a gaping hole in the deck, are ample evidence of the murderous attack on the Recalver. A bamb did this damage. Towards the foot of the mast can be seen bullet holes. The nitack continued for half an hour.

THE CREW of the Reculver could not escape. The boats were riddled with bullets and, as is shown above, davits were wrecked, makiur launching impossible. These pictures were secured by a British Pictorial Productions cameraman

FURTHER PROOF of the concentrated attack on the Trinity House vessel. The engine-room telegraph on the bridge was smashed by bullets. It was a miracle the captain was not killed In the first attack. There was not even a revolver on the ship to answer the attacker,

This performance, regarded at that time as phenomenal, did not surprise artillery experts, who had long conceived the enormous ranges which might be attained by guns with great initial velocity, capable of launching their projectiles into the stratosphere while the shells stil retained a large part of their initial velocity.
