These told the tale of' some har­ assed raider shedding his load to gain height and the safety of the clouds when pursued by one of our fighters. Evidently the plan suc­ ceeded, for the bomber didn’t crash. Nevertheless, the fighter had his -measure of success, since those bombs were meant for some industrial area where-they would have, wrought havoc, and not lor the open moors where all they did was to produce “ heaps o’ muck.’’

A farmer oiit there told me that on the night these bombs were dropped the sky “looked wick wl’ aeroplanes ” crossing and re-crosslng the moors. He couldn’t see them; but he did-hear a cra<& or two and what looked like a sud­ den ball-of flame. Then, of course, he Iffeard the “ Crump, crump, crump!’’ of the big bombs explod­ ing, and whep he examined the moors next morning he found many great craters. Huge quantities of earth had been- excavated and flung far and wide. Big boulders had been flung about, too, and he, showed me an ugly lump of shrap­ nel, weighing a couple of pounds.

Just locally. And It had the most immoderate variations. I refer to the alleged rioting 'at Liverpool, which was said to be under martial law follbwirig the heavy blitz. There was not a grain of trutfi in these statements, and it Is to be regretted that so many people, with a desire to Impress others that they are ‘ In- the know,” have not only been ready to repeat the rumours but to. give their Imagination considerable exercise at the saihe time. This is what Alderman Luke Hogan, leader of the I Labour group in the City Council, and. one of the Eiriergency Committee “ big three ” In the City Couhcitrhad.to say about It: “ These rumours are ridiculous, and the people who spread them
