ATTACKED THREE CITIES.
LONDON, Dec. 16.-German cruis-
ers, swooping down upon the English
coast today, made the most daring
raid of the war, bombarding the sea
port cities Of HartlepooI, scarborough
and WhItby.
Tho historic abbey at Whitby was
partially destroyed. Three churches
in Scarborough were struck and set
on fire, numerous buildings were dam
aged, two railway station platforms
destroyed, and the population thrown
into a panic which resulted In wild
rush for trains from this city. The
British patrol fleet has engaged the
German raiders at several points, the
admiralty has announced. Tho out
come Of the engagement directed
against the raiders had not been an
nounced early this afternoon, but It
was believed the fleet commanders
were about to round up the enemy.
Tho first details Of the lombard
ment came from Hull when refugees
from scarborough arrived there. They
reported that the German vessels ap-
peared off the coast soon after day
light. There were four Of them. The
bombardment Of the town began at
7:56 .. m.
A statement from the war office,
experimenting an earlier announce
ment from the admiralty this after
noon says:
"The fortress commander at West
HartIepool reports that German war
vessels engaged the fortress between
eight and nine o'clock this morning.
They were driven off.
"A small German vessel also OPEN
ed fire on Scarborough and Wnitby.'
The report from the war office does
not agree with stories told by the
refugees from Scarborough. They de-
clare four German cruisers participant
ed in the bombardment OF the town.
From Whitby It 10 also stated two
cruisers were engaged instead Of one.
Between forty and fifty shells fell
In Scarborough, the refugees said. The
enemy's warships opened fire without
warning.
Their first shells feeling FOR the
range, landed In the section Of the
town close to the shore. The three
churches which were struck stood out
az targets by which the German gun
ners evidently directed their fire and
all were struck early in the lombard
ment.

pool and Scarborough.

all that. 1t worked together with what Alan par

while the distance between them was momentarily
growing less noticeable.
AS Marrophats car drew abreast Alan nodded
and said quietly: Don't be alarmed: can attend

And this he proceeded to demonstrate with ad-

And then he was aware Of a door that banged

voice making some indistnguishable demand; that
Roses hand was suddenly whipped away, before he

open and that this animal of Marrophat had
precipitated himself into the room.
He opened his mouth to protest-and Marrophat
