‘The bombard ent. according to Captain John i pilndler, of the Eastwood, took‘ place a few days ago while thehfohooner was chored about twenty miles off the ooast of ‘bong Jeiand. The Elast- iwood arrived here this morning in a badly ‘battered condition ‘but without a casualty among tha 'crcw_ who took shelter in ‘the hold during the firing.

The arrival here of the shell-torn ‘schooner has aroused a grunt srervsation in shipping circles. and speculation is rife conccring the
