BRITISH DESTROYERS APPEAR
GERMAN VESSELS BETIRE.
MINOR ENGAGEMENTS.
LONDON, "Dec. 17
When the British destroyers appeared the enemy's bigger ships desisted from the bombardment and retired. There were some minor engagements, not productive of decided results on either side. Narratives show that- men, women ana children were killed, and others wounlcd. The indignation universally aroused by the attack, which, in the case of towns as Whitby and Scarbo:>J'h is a manifest violation of The Hague Convention, is exceeded only.by sympathy for the victims of the barbaric act.
