Watchers from a lightship who reached the east coast described how a German aeroplane bombed and machine-gunned a homeward bound trawler, sinking her with the loss of all hands. The Identity of the trawler cannot be ascertained pending a roll call of trawlers.
An aeroplane attacked the lightship but a lifeboat rescued the crew.
The master and eight members of the crew of the trawler William Ivery have landed at a Scottish port after a bomb attack in the North Sea.
