PLANE DESTROYED.
VICTIM OF BRITISH TRAWLER. LONDON, March 31. The British trawler St. Kilda took quick revenge for the deliberate bombing of three British hospital ships, one of which was sunk off the Anzio beachhead. When the attack developed the St. Kilda was escorting a convoy of landing craft. In actions against enemy aircraft then and a few days previously, when the destroyer Janus was lost, the St. Kilda destroyed an attacking aircraft. The skipper of the St. Kilda said that when the Janus was sinking her gunners were still firing at enemy aircraft. —British Official Wireless.
