(Uy Associated Press to Coos nay Times.)
SCARBOROUGH, Eng Dec. 17. Tho "Queen of English
watorlng places" recovered today from the German bombard
ment of yesterday. Tho first warning sound of distant firing,
which attracted littlo attention, camo at 5:30. At olght o'clock
ono of tho Gorman battle cruisers and two light cruisers loom
ed out of a heavy fog so close underneath the. cliffs that they
woro unablo to train their guns on tho heights,
However, big resort hotels on tho esplanade and tho old
town offored tempting targots and a rain of shrapnel and lyd-
dito sliolls began to fall, doing groat damage, Ono of tho
light cruisers did most of tho firing, First sho let go wth her
storn guns and then, maneuvering further out, devoted broad
sides to tho most conspicuous buildings on tho higher ground,
Threo shells found a target in a hospital, Tho wall of an old
castlo, which looks formidable, but which has been unoccu
pied for hundrods of yoars, was broached by 8-inch shells,.
Tho gunners had now got tho correct elovatlon or mo wireless
but failed to Injure it. , , , ,
Somo of the bottor class rosidoncos tlion began to suffer,.
Russell Rea, member of Parliament, was eating an early
breakfast with his wife, in the kitchen when a shell destroyed
the remainder of his house. Sovoral ontiro families woro kill
ed togothor In shollod houses.
Tho bombardment "continued 15 minutes, whon tho town
was glvon a fivo-mlnuto breathing spoil, The stroots wero
cleared of people when tho light cruiser turning, brought a
now broadside Into play, Tho gunners directed tholr attention
to tho railway station, with tho rosult that a whole row of
houses, including a noarby church, woro destroyed without
loss of life, as tho occupants had fled, Then -the warships
drew off in a northerly direction and tho people later hoad
tho booming of tho dreaded guns at Whitby, :
During tho early stages of tho bombardmont, 'screeching
shells caused Indoscribablo pandemonium, Later the popplp
became still as doath under tho thunder of tho guns which
rose to a tremendous crescendo whon full broadsides woro
used, Whon tho warships drew off, search for tho killed and
wounded began amid pitiful scenes,
