have dealt a smashing blow to

pines, sinking five shipB and in-
., flieting extensive shore destruction
in a daring raid on Sable Bay. 
The stirring victory:—one of the
most notable in the Philippines
campaign—was announced by the
War Department which waid mm*
than 36,000 tons of enemy shipping
was wiped out.
Listed as sunk were one 12,000-
ton ship, one 10,000-tonney, one
000 tonner and tv® 100-ton motor
launches. Many smaller ertfb^were
damaged and, on the docks cd

Americans set large fires NjyhlCh,
were followed by “many hea^ ex

The audacious blow apparehj^
was aimed at wie of the enemy’s

area. It marked the second time
within a week that MacArthor had
directed surprise thrusts at the
enemy.
