About Great Evacuation

Naval Ships Make 540 Round Trips

• LONDON, June 6, (British Wireless)-Facts and figures in connection with the embarkation of nearly 860,000 men under the most violent aerial bombardment which the Germans could bring to bear are still being released. It can now be stated that the larger naval vessels engaged in the evacun- tion made about 340 round journeys. 5% Hit. By Bombs

The number of journeys in the course of which direct bomb hits were obtained was less than five per cent, of the total number of round Journeys,

The great majority of these were obtained when the vessels hit were stationary either alongside the pers or off the beaches taking on men.

In the

case of smaller auxiliary craft, the proportion of journeys on which hits were obtained was even less favourable to the attack.

The circumstances of this embarku- Lon provided almost ideal conditions for aerial bombardment of ships, and as the Prime Minister pointed out on Tuesday, the enemy had the best motive to strain every nerve-and it may be assumed that he did so-lo destroy the transports taking large contingents of the troops ho had hoped to capture.
