SPEctaL, TO THE "N.c.D.%0"
London, Dec. 30.
Returning to Fleetwood yesterday, the skipper of the unarmed trawler Adam reported that the vessel was bombed and machine-gunned by German seaplanes. The. trawler was steaming along when seaplanes appeared.
The skipper said: "We saw two planes coming towards us. At first, we thought they were British. They landed on the sea at a short distance from us, and then took off and after circling us dropped bombs and swept us with machine-gun fire. Their firing was not accurate, and none of the bombs found its mark. Our ship was not seriously damaged and no one hurt. After about ter minutes, the planes flew off in am easterly direction."—Reuter,
