DEFENCE OF TOBRUK
BRITISH PATROL ACTIVITY (Rec. 0.15 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 17. A Cairo headquarters communique issued yesterday states: "Although our patrols from Tobruk again penetrated deeply into enemy positions during the night of September 14-15 no actual contact was made. The enemy retaliated by the use of heavy machine-gun fire and intensive but ineffective shelling on our eastern sector. In the frontier area our mechanised patrols remain in contact with enemy armoured units, which have again withdrawn to positions they occupied prior to reconnaissance operations begun on September 14."
