Warehouses Are Destroyed
'Then in Wood street I found
Manchester warehouse blazing like q
torch and could see also two or three
huildings near burning. | think six o.

street and Addle street. On my way
back l went through Moorgate street.
About the middle of it | found
was walking on powdered glass and
found that a bomb had fallen in q
house between MOorgate street and
Coleman street just opposite the Royal
Mail Company Office. / don't think
that very much damage was done to
the house when it fell, but the glass
in all the windows round both sides
Of the way in MOOrgate street and
Coleman street were shivered to atoms.
! 1.-The Royal Mail Company's win
dows were just empty frames. Pass
ing there | got in conversation with
a man who had just come from Broad
Street Station. He told me that a
motor bus had been destroyed at the
corner Of Bloomfield street and that the
police were sorting out the pieces of
! bodies and bus and a policeman was
lying insensible on the pavement.
Seven Persons Killed
II have since found that the seven
! persons in the bus were all killed and
the policeman is in the hospital and
not expected to recover. On Sunday
morning | took walk round the places
where bombs fell and found at Heather
Lane heavy ornamental architrave
had been blown on the road and the
two rooms under destroyed. Rags OF
= bedding were hanging from the remain
of the window lodges. Several casual
ties occurred here, two or three chill
dren being killed.
'Going further west a small house
adjoining Gray's Inn was destroyed am
; al the end OF Red Lion street there wa,
one or two roofs damaged and any
amount of broken glass in Queen ,
Square. The hospital for the para

! all the windows and in some cases the
window frames blown out and in the
: square itself | could see the crater
where the bomb fell, six or seven feet
across and about three deep.
Windows Are Fused
Several of the windows in the base
mCnt were fused; one looked like 1
e she t Of mica, III little squares and al
whit" and crystallzed, ready to fall t.
q, pieces at ii touch. After all, excep
for the loss Of life, the damage was no
nearly as much AS one would eXpec

T the Wood street district, being yer,
superficial.
