LONDON, Dee. 1.-The people of the English coast towns of Scarbor- uuEh. Hartlcpool and Whitby, which were yesterday bOmbardcd by the Ger man cruisers. resumed their ordinary occupations today The only difference discerned in the regular routine at this season of the year was the arrival Of crowds of camera bearing tourists which reminded the residents of the summer influx: the return of those who fled on the first sound of the fir
 ing and the busy mechanics who were early at work Sepairing the damage done by the shells.
 The mayor of Scarborough placarded the walls of the city with posters of grief for the loss of friends and neigh bors. But little pride was displayed at the attention they attraced. The cii- zens seemed to be going about their business m quiet natural way It will not be long before all marks of the damage done by the gunfire will be removed.
 The attitude of the people of England is much that of the bombarded towns There are no signs of excitement, the only effect the bombardment has has is the demand that naturaliZed Germans and those who have not ben natural ized be excluded from areas open to attack such as that delivered yesterday and a little boom in recruiting which
 had been slackening owing to the ap- preach of Christmas.
 Although at a late hour the official list of casualties was eighty-tWo killed and 250 injured, many wrecked homes
 have not vet been explored, and it is believer the killed will reach 100, Panic stricken residents of the twin towns are returning slowly from the country and are standing about in sad groups watching the search of the demolished buildings for dead and injured. A
 proclamation has been issued that fam flies unable to pay the funeral expens-
 es of dead relatives will be paid from the war relief funds. Rumors were cur
 rent throughout the day the German and English fleets were firing off the 1 Scotch coast.
 | The inquest is being held today over the bodies of the victims of the ! German bombardment In opening the court the coroner said never be- I fore in the history of England had an inquest been held under similar conditions and he hoped never again The smelling of Hartlepool, he said, afforded faint idea of what Bel gium and France suffered through ! the German invasion. The evidence brought to light some pathetic scenes. An old woman was picking coal dropped from cars on the railway em- bankment when she was killed by a shell. An old man and two daugh- ters were just starting breakfast in
 the kitchen when a shell burst into
 the room killing them all; a young woman was going to her mother $ house to conduct her to q place of safety and stumbled over the man gIed body of her mother. A shell l had pierced the roof of the little home The coroncr's jury returned a verdict of killed. met death in the 1 bombardment of the town by the enemy, who under cover of dense fog, fired shot and shell into the towns
 killing many unarmed civilians"
