The previous raid which was
carried out early on the morning
of April 90, was conducted stimuli
taneously against Ostend and Zee
brugge.
The latter port is believed to
have been completely blocked
thru the sinking of two concrete
filled cruisers in the channels.
The mole also was damaged by
the blocking up of an old subma-
rine filled with explosives, and
thru the planting of bombs by a
boarding party.
The raid on Ostend, however,
was frustrated when a high wind
