The Italian warship then turn ed northward and throughout last night "were shadowed as they returned to base," the com munique went on, thus clearly in dicating that the Italians had broken off the engagement to : flee. In the first action, the RAF said, an Italian naval force in cluding two battleships and four destroyers was sighted south of Taranto, big Italian naval base, on Sunday evening. Kept under surveillance, the force was attacked by allied tor pedo planes Monday night and besides the 10,000-ton Trento class cruiser sent to the bottom, six-inch cruiser and a destroy er were known to have been hit. In the second action, Monday doming, another Italian force 01 cruisers and destroyers was at tacked by British torpedo planes in the vicinity of Pantelleria. A cruiser was hit and left in flames, and a destroyer was "probably hit," the RAF said. A German version of the spectacular sea -air battle, en tirely different from the Italian account, said nazi air and naval forces sank four cruisers and de stroyers, probably sank another destroyer and damaged six other warships In attacks on British Mediterranean convoys. ' The Germans also asserted that six merchant ships were sunk, eight others probably sunk and six damaged, and implied that these losses were inflicted en a west-bound convoy and were in addition to those report ed by the Italians. The fascist version said three British warships were sunk and 17 other ships sunk, set afire or damaged. The whole battle or series of battles revolved about an appar ent axis attempt to smash Brit ish supply lines to Malta and to North Africa, where the flam ing desert struggle between weary British and axis forces appeared to be nearing a finale.
