Scarborough and Hartlepool were bombarded simul- between 8 and 9 o'clock. Whitby was bombarded » Whitby is seventeen miles north of Scarborough and ity-five miles south of Hartlepool, and it is thought perhaps two of the ships which bombarded the latter steamed north along the coast and opened fire on CHURCHES SET ON FIRE.

The only information given out by the Admiralty is a confirmation of the news of the bombardment, the announce- ment that British warships have engaged the German cruisers and that the situation in the North Sea is ‘‘develop- ing.” The text of the Admiralty communication follows: “German movements of some importance are taking place this morning in the North Sea. Scare borough and Hartlepool have been shelled and our flotillas have at various points been engaged. The situation is developing.” RAIDERS CREPT THROUGH HAZE. ‘Tho gun rose over England this morning at 8.01 o'clock. The German bombardment began at Scarborough at the first flush of dawn.
