(8 am. Shanghai D.LT).
Apparently most of the shells were shrapnel, as they burst in the alt. Many of the shells seemed to fall in the water. As far as was ascer-
{ainable last night, no damage or casualties were suffered along the British coast up to 1 pin.
Numerous flares or tracer. shells could be seen piercing the sky last night. A great red glow lit up the sky and the water tine, illuminating the French coastline.
