Ia debats ia the House of Lords in the British blockade, Lord-Bry-ford said that with longer days and Gamer weather the losses would increase and that the public ought to have the fact brought home to it. The namber of sossela destroyed thus far this month was given by him a 255. Lord Beresford expressed the opinion that captures of sub. marines by the British were not at all ́equivalent tɔ the new süb.. marines the Germans were Jaun- ohing. The losses of British, allied and nentral vessels ~for Forbruary, bs ssid, amounted to 281 vesɛbis, with an aggregate toonsge of MOTO than 503,000. Figures given cut în Loadou on March 3 pleasd the amount of tonnage destroyed by German submarines in February at about 490,000," No mention was made at this time of ships destroyed by mines.

Theimatter was at once reported to Acting Lisateasut Frederick William Week, R.NE to whom it was obvious that 'say attempt at: reacus #mait che attended with considerable, danger. The ship, which was kept clear of the side of the quay by spar fenders of moly nine inches in diameter, Was working to and fro wish tho elgbt well entering the harbour, Moreover, the man was icespable of helping himself; he was of heavy build and was wearing a uniform greatcoat, In view of the risk to the resoner of being crnahed
Lieutenant Weeks decided that he could not order a man down. He thereupon took a line and went down himself. By, this time the man was almost unconscious. Leutenant Week managed to ohiaia a bold; of bis, hair, and by this means: kept him sufficiently above water; hilek. wedging himself with his book against the quay and bin knees against the ship evide.
