"LINE OF RUIN"
ONE RAIDER'S WORK
(Received February 5, 12.30 p.m.)
LONDON, February 4
An east coast town suffered its worst damage of the war this morning, when a single raider, which was later destroyed, dived from the clouds and dropped a line of about twenty bombs across the town. A lifeboat raced out to attempt to save the crew of the bomber, while in the town through which the raider had left a line of ruin rescue squads toiled to dig out civilians buried under the wreckage. Two of the German airmen are believed to have been saved. The casualties in the town are not yet known.
Enemy planes made the .usual morning call at an East Anglian town, but no bombs were dropped.
