YARMOUTH SHELLED BY A GERMAN RAIDER.

6 KILLED: 10 INJURED.

The following communiqué was issued by the Field-marshal Commanding-in-chief, Home Forces, at half-past ten yesterday morning: Yarmouth was bombarded from the sea last night. Fire was opened at 10.55 p.m., and lasted about five minutes, some twenty shells falling into the town. Latest police reports state that three persons were killed and ten injured. The material damage done was not serious. Late last night a correspondent at Yarmouth sent the following message: The bombardment at Yarmouth had up to the time of the despatch of this message resulted in four deaths, the victims being an old couple named Bullon, a sailor, and another man. Two others, including another sailor, were so badly injured that they are not expected to survive. One of the dead was a seafaring man who came in yesterday evening. With two others, he was in the forecastle of his vessel when it was struck by a shell. Two children of a local medical practitioner were amongst those injured, the boy slightly, and his sister more seriously; the girl is progressing satisfactorily in hospital. In meet of the other cases of casualty the injuries were of a minor character. In one portion of the borough a dwelling was struck A shell hit the upper floor, then glanced along a wall, shattered a pier glass in the room, and finished up in the rear of the house. The daughter of the occupant was just going to bed, but had not yet reached upstairs. The shell passed through her bed-room. At the residence of Councillor A. H. Dyson a shell hit the roof and passed through the sleeping apartment usually occupied by Miss Dyson. Fortunately, she had remained downstairs finishing a little late sewing. But for this, in all human probability she would have lost her life. Passing through the south-west angle of the house, the shell struck an adjacent dwelling.
