HIT-AND-RUN RAIDERS
AUSTRALIANS PUSH SEARCH
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Rec. 2.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 8.
Naval units and Air Force bombers have thrown a cordon around the areas shelled by enemy submarines on Monday morning. It is considered that if the raid was a hit-and-run affair it will be several days before the submarines' are out of range of reconnaissance aircraft.
A search is also being made for possible submarine hiding places along the east coast. It is believed that some of Japan's largest types of submarines made the attack. These have a range of thousands of miles and must still have considerable supplies of fuel. They could operate in southeastern Australian waters for several weeks before returning to their base.
Naval authorities say only one enemy submarine shelled Sydney. A second, and apparently smaller submarine, attacked Newcastle.
