Sunk By Aircraft OFF
Portugal, Nozis Soy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. l0.-The German
Air force. in two far-reachlne
thrusts. was reported today to have
attacked a British airport at Reyk-
iavik. Iceland. and sunk "a. 800 tons
of merchant shipping off the coast
of Portugal.
Reykjavik is approximately 1000
miles from German air bases in
Norway. The ships attacked in the
Atlantic were said to have been ap-
proXimately 300 miles off the Portu-
guese coast.
British forces occupied Ice
land last MAY after Germany
had seized control of Denmark;
Iceland and Denmark were
linked by common allegiance TO
the Danish King. Canadians
make up a large proportion of
the British force IN Iceland
The German high command said
armed reconnaissance planes made
the attack on Iceland, machine
cunning an airport.
The ships attacked were said to
have been in a convoy protected
by warships."
Besides the 24,500 tons reported
sunk. four other ships were dam
aged and the convoy was dispersed,
the high command reported.
Informed sources earlier had re-
ported three vessels sunk outright
in the attack, three others damaged
so their total loss" was apparent
and three more badly damaged
One of the combat groups taking
part in the attack was credited with
having sunk 350,000 tons of mer-
chant shipping since last August l.
A single combat plane was re-
ported to have effectively bombed
a patrol boat off the east coast of
Scotland
Other planes were said TO have
attacked London and Southeastern
England last night.
During the night" the German
communique said, scattered enemy
planes dropped bombs on two local
tiles of Northwestern Germany
Property damage was caused merely
to one farmhouse. The enemy lost
two combat planes yesterday in a
fight off the Norwegian coast.

Vincent Sheean. noted author and
foreign correspondent, his wife and
their two small children narrowly
escaped death today in an early
morning fire that trapped them on
the upper floors of their home.

leased from Sinclair Lewis and his
wife, Dorothy Thompson-was de-
stroyed, together with a library of
thousands of books, owned by Miss
Thompson.
Mr. Sheean, awakened by crack
ling flames. leaped from the third
story bedroom to an areaway. The
flames singed his hair as he
leaped. He sprained a leg in the
jump.
Meanwhile. his wife and their
daughter Linda, Al. were cut off
in a second-story bedroom. She
