COMMUNIQUE
AN OFFICIAL Admiralty communique issued last night' re-tells in restrained lan- guage the gallantry of the action of the cap- tain and crew of the merchant cruiser, Jervis Bay, in boldly tackling a "big German war- ship” in order to save her convoy.
The German warship is believed, as a re- sult of the statement of skippers in the con- voy, to be the pocket-battleship "Admiral Scheer."
