The. heavy lighting which has been
raging intermittently since Saturday
has died down to isolated skirmishing
and sniping. A severe rainstorm
which began early today assisted the
British troops in restoring order in
ths battle-ridden city.
One person was killed while a de-
tachment of soldiers was dispensing
a band of looters.
There was considerable sniping dur
ing the night. Shortly after mid
night the troops patrolling the city
fired several heavy volleys into build
ings where snipers were concealed
and then began an intensive search
for the riflemen.
According to a telephone message
from Londonderry suburb firing
again broke out between 8 and 6
o'clock. A British officer was quoted
As saying that things were pretty
hot"
A second telephone message said
that "all fighting has ceased"
British troops took possession OF
the grounds and buildings of st. Co
lumbus College, where there had been
considerable sniping. Business In
Londonderry Is still virtually at a
standstill. Most OF the shopkeepers
fear to open up their stores.
It 10 reported that Sim Feiners
hidden on the heights on the outskirts
of the city fired a number of shots
at the British warships in the harbor.
Searchlights on the ships and
those on shore operated by the troops
were kept playing on the city
throughout the night.
The British military authorities be-
lieve they have the situation com
pletely in hand, but they have had
a difficult time checking the wide
spread looting.
In the outskirts OF the city masked
raiders entered many homes. indis-
criminately pillaging the property of
Sim Feiners and Unionists.
Heavy re-enforcements of British
troops are patrolling the main streets
of the city. A number of armed Irish
volunteers patrolled the district
where the Sim Feiners reside.

larger than f,rst estimated. Both the
