The open sea was patrolled by de-
stroyers night and day At the docks
themselves barges were made fast
across the pier heads to prevent entry
and obstruct the view, and these
barges were patrolled by sentries,
while spotlights played on the nearby
waters. Even the air was watched
for hostile aeroplanes which might i'm

lights flickered into the clouds every
