shells fell in the city. Three persons
were killed and ten injured.
= The following official announce
ment was given out:
yarmouth was bombarded from
the sea last night. Fire was opened
at 1885 p. m. and~lasted about five
minutes, some twenty shells falling
into the town.
THE latest police reports state that
three were killed and ten injure l.
The material damage done was not
serious"
Star Shell Illuminated City.
The fusiIade was carried out with
extraordinary rapidity. Shells burst
over various sections of Yarmouth and
many roofs and chimneys were
smashed.
The Germans carried out their bonn
bardment with careful system. The
first shell fired was a star shell, the
light from which wildly showed the
town below it. Then came the hurt
ling salvo of shells.
The German craft was believed
either. to be one of the largest and
newest types of German submarines
or a cruiser
Most of the inhabitants were in bed
at the time of the attack. One of the
three persons killed was a sailor
aboard his ship, who had escaped sub
marines in midocean. The other two
were killed in the street. There were
many narrow escapes among the occu-
pants Of the damaged houses.
Attacks by German naval forces or
English coast towns of which there
were a number early in the war, have
been infreQuent in recent months The
last previous occurrence of the kline

Yarmouth is on the North sea, III
miles northeast of London. 1t is &
city of some $4,000 inhabitants. with
important shipbuilding and fishing in
dustries. It is a popular watering place
and has extensive dock yards.
The official statement does no
specify whether the guns with which
the seaport was bombarded were
those of a German cruiser on sub
marine, but the latter appears mos
likely.
, Germany's super-submarines carry
comparatively powerful guns.
