warfare fired the shell that killed one
American seaman and wounded II.

late as to whether the shell was Jape-
nese or Chinese
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, fleet COM
mander, took occasion to deny he had
informed Washington the shell was
Japanese. He also denied he had rep
rimanded or protested to either OF the
belligerents, but recalled that before
the shelling he repeatedly had warned
both commands Of the danger OF
firing projectiles over American and
other foreign warships in the Whang-
poo.
japanese officials were quick to dis
claim responsibility for the shelling OF
the Augusta, insisting their anti-air-
craft guns were silent at the time and
suggesting the projectiles came from
a Chinese trench mortar.
