I is known that less than a dozen British merchantmen of Exir size have fallan, a proy to the enemy. Apart from these the main loss to British owners is in ships which were in German ports on the outbreak of ske. It is estimated that our merchant flest locked up in Germany is of the aggregate value of £1,000,000. The value of the German ships captured must be in the region of £6,000,000, even be put it

il on the basis of tramp tonnage. must also be remembered that the total tonnage of British shipping is 21,000,000 tuna grosa, compared with Germany's total | of &,500,000.

It will be men from this that the Ha line has suffered the most. There are xli ships of about 4,000 tons gross, and most were captured in the zeighbourhood of India. The Geraan-Austrain, too, lost most of hers in the Antipodes, which dicates that there eastern waters are not the safest pinces for possible enemy ships to trade. The paucity of captures from the Hamburg Amerien and Narkleutscher Liryd lines is not surprising when one re-
