Watson, 88, Confed erate veteran of Pickens county, was baptised in the Second Bap tist church sitting in a chair because of his age and state of health while the rites of lnv mersion were performed. Burst of anti-aircraft fire caused great excitement among home-going crowds in the Lon don area. Driven From Base A column of more than 20 German bombers smashed at Britain's naval base and city of Portsmouth last night after the long-range assaults all over southern England. In the earlier attacks on Lon don, bombs fell In the capital's eastern Industrial suburbs. While the third air raid warn ing in the London area still was on, red flashes were reported in the sky over the French coast from Calais to Boulogne, indi cating that the Royal Air force was striking against German- held channel ports and em placements for the big guns which shelled Dover. The raiders over Portsmouth were driven off from their mill' tary targets, the British said, and then loosed their bombs Indiscriminately on a residential and working class section of the city, causing an undetermined number of casualties. A movie theater was reported smashed and a number of Its patrons trapped. Several factor ies, were wrecked. Fires sprang up In the city. While thus resuming mass aerial raids upon Britain, long range Nazi guns across the Eng lish channel shelled the British coast in the morning and again for 45 minutes in the evening. British coastal guna answered heavily. Up to 9:30 p.m. 45 German planes were officially put down as destroyed, against ten British fighters acknowledged missing. These Nazi sky attacks were termed "mass raids" by the air ministry itself, which added that in the first wave 80 German planes came over. "As one wave of raiders dis appeared," the ministry added, "another took up the attack." One British formation was said to have climbed five miles high to attack 30 German fighters: a British fighter squadron, the ministry added, chased a Nazi bomber three miles inland from Calais, France, across the chan nel, before the German crashed at last. Dar Of Action Anti aircraft gunners were In almost constant action all along the Kent coast and the Thames estuary. In their second thrust at Lon don late today, the bombers broke through the outer de fenses far enough to drop bombs in the fields of one suburb. Shortly thereafter, the German big berthas on the French coast opened their second bombard ment. The shells from this evening's bombardment fell mostly in ru ral coastal areas. At first they came minutes apart, but the in terval then lengthened. It was thus a day of unprec edented double action against Britain, loosed by the Nazi ar tillery on the French coastline and supported by hundreds of planes. Electrical .
