SOUTH PORTS BOMBARDED British Woman In Algeciras Hurt
RESIDENTS FLEE TO GIBRALTAR REFUGE
(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH"}
Gibraltar, Aug. 7. -
The battleship Jaime I, the cruiser Libertad and the destroyer Cervantes reappeared this afternoon and recommenced a bombardment of Tarifa, Getares and Algeciras. The Jaime I came close into the harbour and fired incessantly, while the Libertad and Cervantes were engaged in fighting two rebel flying boats which arrived from Ceuta to harass the attacking fleet.
Thirty British residents of Algeciras rushed to Gibraltar from Algeciras in motor buses and reported that many rooms of the British Consulate had been smashed.
The Vice-Consul's wife had a miraculous escape from death, they related.
The Jaime's first shots killed all the gun-crew of the gunboat Dato and the rest of the crew abandoned the ship, it is bélieved.-Router Special.
