England, and another raider, fly

the ground, sprayed an East
Anglican town wltlv cannon shells
early in the morning,'
Preliminary reports-suggest
that tne German raiders adopted
"scalded cat'- tactics. The raids
were carried outr.over a wide
area, but the force is not thought
to have been a formidable one.
Some, raiders which penetrated
the east coast delcnces seemed to
be spy planes. Tlieir only ob
vious objective was to swoop

dropped incendiary and high ex
plosive bombs on isolated places.
