CONVOY SHELLED
SALVOES FROM FRENCH COAST LONDON, October 4. ' (Received October 6, at 9 a.m.) German long-range guns in France shelled a British convoy in the Straits of Dover at dawn. Two salvoes of three shell each were fired from near Cap Gris Nez as the convoy, which carried its own balloon barrage, ploughed through the rough seas swept by a south-westerly gale. Great columns of water shot up. The gunfire shook houses and awakened people* living on the Kent coast.
