DESTINATION MADE
THROUGH THE CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN
AIR ATTACKS FAIL
(Rec. 10.10 a.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 29. An Admiralty communique states that naval operations have recently been in progress in the Mediterranean. These have had as their object the passing of an important convoy through the central Mediterranean.
Despite persistent attacks by the enemy air force, the objective of the operations was- achieved. The convoy reached its destination, although one ship of the convoy was damaged and subsequently had to
be sunk by our forces, towing having proved impracticable. There were no casualties in this merchant ship.
One of the escorting warships suffered some damage, but except for a slight reduction in speed her fighting efficiency was unimpaired.—B.O.W.
