London, November %. -
German airplanes are drop
ping sea miries by parachute
into the Thames estuary,
naval sources said today, in
intensification of sea warfare
which has taken a toll of %
ships off the British Isles and
in the English Channel since
Saturday.
The parachute mines a START
ling new Nazi development in mod
ern warfare - was disclosed by Brit
ish sources as reports were received
of five more ship sinkings and as
the Dutch government protested
against Great Britain's orders to
retaliate against Germany by seiz-
ing exports OF the Reich. Belgium
also was expected to protest.
Two Nazi airplanes were believed
to have sown sea mines in the
Thames estuary last night, either as
an experiment or as part Of broad
program. Naval sources said they
believed that the mines planted BY
airplane had been responsible for
a large part OF the recent shipping
disasters. A new form of mag
netic" mine also was blamed for
the sinkings.
Mines Sink to Bottom
Experts said they believed that
the parachutes dropped from the
planes dissolved In the water, per-
hitting the mines to sink to the
bottom. The parachutes presum-
ably were designed to prevent DAM
age to the delicate mechanism Of
the mines. the British said.
One eyewitness who said he saw
the parachute mines sown by Nazi
plane said:
1.-THE plane was so close could
see the silhouette OF its occupants
heads against the dim light in the
cockpit. AS 1t flew past. there we're
machine guns fired at 1t but 1t APP
parently got away.
IT had seen 1t flying about SO feet
over the water. about 100 yards
from shore and I saw something
splash into the water as the plane
went past me-"
Naval experts claimed that the
sowing Of the parachute mines had
been confirmed and expressed belief
that they as well as magnetic
mines laid by U-Boats - were re-
sponsible for the English coast ship
ping disasters, including five more
reported today. The last two re-
ported were the Trawler Sulby. sunk
by a mine, and the steamer Darino.

week. Three others had been re-
ported earlier today.
