15 JULY 1916, Page 1
During the week there has been a certain amount of
futile and brutal German activity on the English coast. Two small seaplane raids took place last Saturday night and Sunday morning over the East and South Coasts, but without any harm being done ; and on Tuesday evening at 10.30 a German submarine appeared off the small undefended port of &ahem Harbour, on the coast of Durham, approached within a few hundred yards of the town, and opened fire, expending some thirty rounds of shrapnel, fired from a three- inch gun. A dozen of these rounds fell in and about Sealiam Colliery. A woman who was walking through the colliery yard was seriously injured and died on Wednesday morning. One house was struck by a shell. There were no other casualties.
