Towards morning the night watch at the Embassy whose duty it is to see that there is no light in the house saw a huge mass descending slowly over the Embassy till it almost touched the roof.

It hovered there a few minutes, making observations.
No one noticed it until suddenly the engines started again, and it dropped the first bomb close to the Embassy.

A direct hit was made on the house of the Ambassador Jresnea Crecianu, and twenty gendarmes who were there were killed.

The royal palace was also damaged.

The Government is apparently not satisfied with the anti-aircraft forces, but concludes that practice will make them perfect.
