CONVOYS MEET
 TERRIFIC FIRE
Continued from Page D

When the German Stuka dive bombers attacked, the little convoy spread out for safety adn covered long stretch of the English Chan mel. The first dive bomber, pre- sumably the leader of the first squadron, dived SO low that 1t prac- tically straddled the masts of one ship. The ship sank so fast that because I was skirting a low build- ing for better view I did not even see her go down.
 Plane after plane dived from the clouds. The gun crews on the tiny after decks of the ships worked their anti-aircraft guns, one-pound- CTS or anti-aircraft machine guns, like trip hammers. Guns joined in from the shore and helped to form curtain of explosions against the clouds.
 Came In Punches A second vessel turned bows up and remained for 10 minutes with its prov above water. A third filled slowly on an almost even keel, tilt ed slowly and vanished, its ensign still flying at its stern.
 Like little black bugs on the wa ter, the lifeboats, filled with sur vivors many of whom had been wounded, crept over the oil-slick on the water toward tugs that went to the rescue, engines straining to get the last yard of speed.
 There was 8 second attack and another ship vanished. A third att tack, to the south, and another went down.
 How many killed and wounded the remainder of the convoy car- ried off on its scheduled course mo- body knows. The Admiralty admit ted that five other ships had been damaged. One ship made for shore to land wounded. The remainder continued.
 I believe the five ships sunk could not have aggregated more than the 5,1O4 tons which the Admiralty ad- mitted. And if the wounded I help ed ashore were any criterion men whose chief worry seemed to be that they had not brought down a German plane-they averaged very high in plain ordinary guts.

Raid on Gibraltar.

Algeciras, Spain, July 27.-(UP)- Italian airplanes which raided Gi- braltar yesterday and last night killed four persons and injured 50, officials said today.
 The planes attacked in the morn ing, but were driven of before they could drop their bombs. The planes returned in the evening, however, and dumped bombs on the fortress and harbor.
 The raid gave the air defenses of '"rhe Rock" their first real test and came as British authorities were evacuating women and chil- dren to various colonies. Some bombs fell in the harbor, striking several oil tankers. It was not known whether any of the ships waiting to evacuate civilians had been struck.
 The planes flew over Gibratar in waves using dive bomber tactics. Anti-aircraft batteries kept up 8 constant fire, but it could not be determined whether any planes had been shot down. Numerous fires could be seen from the Spanish shore.
 The British garrison at Gibraltar now exceeds 10000. Several trans ports brought troops to the fortress within the last few days.
