DEATHS IN HOSPITAL.

A later message adds: Two further deaths have occurred in the Yarmouth General Hospital of victims of the enemy bombardment, bringing the death toll to six. One of the two who have just succumbed is a sailor who was in the forecastle of a steamer lying moored in harbour, when a shipmate whose death had been reported was killed outright. The sixth victim was the man already stated to have been badly injured. Another correspondent telegraphed: Yarmouth was bombarded on Monday night from the sea, and a number of shells fired into the town caused the loss of three lives and some other casualties, besides damage to property. Roofs of buildings were stripped off, doors wrenched away, and windows blown in. The bombardment was prefaced by a star shell, which burst about eleven o’clock, and lit up the town. Then the shelling began, and it continued without intermission for fully five minutes. The raid was carried out by a small enemy craft, presumed to be a submarine, but on this point there is no clear evidence. The damage was widespread in all parts of the town. It was a cold night, with a high wind, very dark at sea, and there were few people on the sea front or in the streets. Before it could be realised what had happened the bombardment was over. Some thirty shells must have come over the town. Two men were killed in the streets by bursting shells. In some private houses the greatest confusion and damage were caused, as if an earthquake had occurred. Everything was turned upside down. No serious damage has been reported inland. Many people got up when the first gun was fired, and in that way escaped injury in their bed-rooms. The inquest on the bodies of the victims is expected to be opened to-day.
