Hours after Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher announced
that the drive had begun, British
correspondents said the para
troopers stabbed 20 miles
southeast from the San Carlos
beachhead toward Darwin,
while the marines headed due
east over the hilly terrain toward
Stanley, 50 miles away, where
some 7,000 Argentine
defenders were deployed in a
broad arc protecting the capital.

gentine army and air force units
continued attacks against Bri
tish positions on East Falkland
It was not known if any British
forces were on West Falkland
Argentina renewed warnings
Thursday night that the British
hospital ship Uganda could
come under attack unless it
withdrew to a "prudent dis
tance" from the war zone to
"remove all doubt about what it
is being used for "
Argentina claimed the Ugan
da was carrying out "military
objectives" in San Carlos Bay
The military command said it will
consider itself exempt from any
responsibility “for events that
may occur" if the Uganda is not
removed
Unofficial reports cited by the
British Broadcasting Corp. in
London early Friday said British
forces met fierce resistance
from Argentine troops at Darwin
and nearby Goose Green.
Argentine military sources
denied reports by the BBC and
the domestic news agency
Press Association that a drive to
retake Stanley was under way
The military command in Buen
os Aires said such an offensive
was improbable because the
British had taken heavy casual
ties at San Carlos in Argentine
bombing runs Wednesday and
early Thursday and were short
of supplies

In London, a Defense Ministry
spokesman said he had no in
formation about such air at
tacks.
The Argentine sources also
said the British were hampered
by cold, wind, rain and spongy
island soil as well as Argentine
artillery and mortar fire, bomb
ings and infantry attacks
The Argentine Joint Chiefs
estimated the British strength at
San Carlos at 2,000, but British
Defense Minister John Nott put
the number at 5,000 and said
Wednesday they were poised to
begin their thrust at Stanley and
the thousands of Argentine
troops protecting it.
Mrs Thatcher told the House
of Commons Thursday. "Our
forces on the ground are now
moving forward from the brid
gehead." She declined to be
more specific, saying, "To
much discussion about timing
and details of operations can
only help the enemy ’’
She also said nine more men
had died from Argentine air at
tacks and criticized nations
supplying arms to Argentina,
but she said she would cooper
ate with new U N peace efforts
The only reporters covering
the fighting are from Argentin
a's official Telam news agency
and various British news media
Initial reports also said 24
British lives were lost in the at
tacks Tuesday, but Mrs
Thatcher said the death toll had
risen to 33
She said 21 sailors were lost
aboard the destroyer Coventry,
sunk by several bombs north of
Falkland Sound — an increase
of one in the total announced
earlier. On the Atlantic Con
veyor, Mrs Thatcher said 12
men — including the captain —
were lost, an increase of eight.
This put the official British
death toll at 109 since the con
flict erupted with the Argentine

Britain April 2 Argentina says
398 of its men have been killed,
321 of them aboard the cruiser
