WHERE RUSSIANS FIRED ON BRITISH VESSELS.

Ing the Moulmein. They steamed away
however, and soon the fishermen were
Mortified to find they were being fired
upon.
First one and then another traWler
was struck by flying shot What seem
ed to be a round shot went through the
Moulmein's galley The Mino, living
near by, also was struck with many
shots, but fortunately the damage was
above her water line and none of her
crew was struck
Warships Sail Away.
The bOmbardment lasted about
twenty minutes. When it had ceased
the fleet sailed southwark, and some
of the trawlers sent up rockets. The
Moulmein steered in the direction of
the rockets. Soon cries were heard,
and the Crane was found sinking with
another traWler taking off some of her
crew. Those seriously injured were
removed to a mission ship and the
bodies of Smith and Leggett were
placed aboard the Moulmein. The 9th

aboard the trawler Sea Gull.

A survivor Of the Crane who has
reached Hull is j. A. Smith, son of the
dead skipper. Young Smith was asleep
in his bunk when the firing aroused
him. Just as he was getting up shot
struck the starboard and penetrated to
the forecastle, smashing a lamp near
which he was standing. He rushed
on deck, where the searchlights re-
vealed the horrible sight of his father
and Leggett, lying headless, and the
deck strewn with the injured. 1t was
soon found that the vessel was sink
