FEWER ATTACKS.
ON THE ENEMY BASES. WEATHER STOPS BOMBERS. (Received This Day, 2.10 p.m.) LONDON, October 4, Our fighters shot down an enemy bomber into the sea off the east coast this morning. Though unfavourable weather has restricted daylight activities, our bombers yesterday made attacks on shipping off Dunkirk, on the Rotterdam harbour, on barge concentrations at Heusden,* and an industrial plant near Wesel. Other aircraft attacked railway communications and oil storage depots near Cherbourg. All our aircraft returned safely. Bomber operations were cancelled last night owing to the weather becoming worse.
