They were mostly to first and made various excuses to try and get to the larger ships. As the rate of filling up was so slow I asked the Pier- master if I could send the four outside ships to sea to wait their turns and decrease the target, but I was told that there would be a large number of men ready as soon as the wounded had been embarked and that the ships were to remain alongside. I was then asked by the Piermaster if I would place a trawler alongside the Western Jetty and light some smoke floats, and he suggested that I might like to volunteer for the job. I said that I was quite prepared to do the job by boat, but that I did not consider it possible to place a ship alongside the jetty as the foundations of the pier were shewing when I entered harbour, and that my trawlers were all drawing over 15 feet while the rise and fall on that day was only 11 feet. "Jaguar" completed and left harbour during this period, and a large paddle steamer (I think Crested Eagle) berthed shead of "Fynella". At about 1630 the second raid was carried out, but this was a rather half-hearted affair. All ships opened fire as before, and no damage was done to the ships alongside. About 20/30 bombs were dropped as before but they were divided between three targets "Jaguar" leaving the harbour - the ships alongside, and two French destroyers on the opposite side of the harbour. The "Jaguar" was damaged. Fighters again appeared and the raiders were driven off. The Canterbury completed and left harbour, and a destroyer came in to take her place. After this raid more troops started to come down the pier and although traffic was still hampered by the wounded and stretcher cases quite a large number were embarked in the trawlers. At about 1800 the third raid started. This was a very much more determined attack, and the bombers came over in waves at a few minute intervals - fire was opened but fighters appeared and it was impossible to tell if they were enemy or not and it hanpered the firing to a great extent. About 100 bombs were dropped, and the attack appeared to be directed entirely on the pier and the ships alongside. The "Calvi" and "Grenade" received direct hits and sank ensign remained flying from the foremast. There was a Mrect hit immediately. "Calvi's" masts and funnel were above water and her amount of panic ensued and men started climbing out of one shore. ship on the pier close to the end and "Fynella" was damaged.
