Afterwards Fascist Guards kept the people from seeing the devasta- tion at the docks and the morning papers came out hours later "with not line about the bombardment."

The communique issued the next day insisted that nothing of military Importance had been hit "although fres had blazed on the docks until far into the provious evening."
