GRUESOME SIGHT.
HONAN ISLAND A SHAMBLES. Received November 25, 12.50 am. CANTON, Nov. 24. Honan Island is a most gruesome sight after half an hour’s bombing from the air in which the raiders used 5001 b bombs which shook the whole city and reduced sections of it to a shambles. It is believed that at least 162 are dead and missing. Many were blown to pieces, and others were so mutilated as to be unrecognisable. Armies of coolies are digging amongst the ruins and recovering further bodies.
