Of the German effort to land troops in
Pernau, in the northeast corner of the

ordered them to disperse. It was then
noticed that a German ship was off
shore, far away toward the horizon.
It remained for some time making OBJ
servations.
1T appeared later that the Russians
had signaled the ship to halt, not
knowing it's nationality, and that sig
nails questioning the vessel as to this
point remained unanswered.
Seven German Ships Sighted.
"The people of the city did not be-
come alarmed until cannonading was
heard at sea during the night. At 10
o'clock in the evening the smoke Of
seven German ships became visible.
Three Of them seemed to be light
cruisers and four large transports.
"Soon the Russian batteries on shore
opened fire on the German squadron
The German ships replied and the con-
tinuous roar of the guns on both sides
coalesced into mighty chaos of
sound.
THE German ships We're three miles
away. being unable to approach nearer
on account of the shallow water Their
fire was inaccurate. Nobody in Pernau
was killed. but a few persons in Ore
tolls lost their lives. The railway lines
were slightly damaged, but were
quickly repaired.
Guns Roar All Night.
THE Germans fired uninterrupted

til the next. afternoon. Panic seized
the population and people of all classes
rushed for the railroad station and
many were carried away on a crowded
train, passengers occupying even the
roofs Of cars. The train moved slow

From the cars there were seen the
hulls of three German transports,
