Harmless Fishermen Bombarded BY
irresponsible Russian Fighters.

London. Oct. 24-The steam cutie,
Maggie, belonging to the GamecOck
trawler fleet, which was fired on bv
the Russian Baltic fleet, arrived in the
Thames, Sunday night. Her captain,
Peaker. confirmed the details of the
story received from Hull. He says:

vessels of the Gamecock fleet, fishing

a misty drizZly night. We spread over
an area of some miles. Our admiral
had just previously sienaled by rockets
and colored lights. the fishing direction
for the night. Whether that had any
thing to do with that followed. l don't

some of the warships started firing at
about 20 boats, which We're nearest to

that we were peaceful fishermen and

hurried away as fast as possible.

in the boats. They are about the dia-

Capt. Peaker confirms the details Of
the fate of the trawler Crane and her

He says:
