Before noon of May 30, by in.; tercepted German wireless signals, Sir Reginald Hall, the Director of Naval Intelligence at the Bri- tish Admiralty, learnt that a part of the German Fleet was putting to sea that night.. It was known the Skagerrak, and it was cal that the Germans were bound for
culated that they would be west of Jutland at two next afternoon, at a point which the Admiralty. fixed by calculation.
This all-important news is said to have been sent to Lord Jellicoe, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet. The essential mat- ter was, then, to be at this point by 2 p.m. of the 31st. But it will be seen that Lord Jellicoe's feet did not reach that point till at least two hours later.
