Monday's papers contained an Admiralty report of a successful air
and 833 raid on Zeebrugge last Saturday night. Seaplanes of the R.X.A.S. dropped many bombs on Zeebrugge Mole, and attacks were also made in co-operation with the military on ammunition dumps, on Ghent and Bruges. On the same night two enemy destroyers wore torpedoed off Zeebrugge, one of which was seen to sink (the German official reports have since admitted the loss) and the other was very severely damaged. All the machines returned safely, and no casualties were sustained in tho naval operations.
