LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
TUNIS AND LA GOULETTE (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 10. A correspondent states that Tunis suffered very little from the bombing and at La Gaulette only buildings on the dockside had been badly knocked about. The enemy had done his best to block the entrance to the main basin at La Goulette. Several mediumsized merchant ships were sunk right across its mouth and lighters and barges were set on fire and many were found already burnt down to the water-line, “but the port is in much better shape generally than 1 expected to see it,” the correspondent concluded.
