So that a curious resek followed. The British did not attack because they were covering the movements of their transports, and the Germans did not aneck because they were waiting for the British superiority in strength to be reduced by azrition. The strategy on both sides was defensive.

tar, had been a complete failure. A general order was issued to the Fleet, couched in high-lalutin terms as the prelude to the new 'operation, closing with the words, "at them with God Who will give us victory.”

This offensive took the form of a hasty raid by two small cruisers to attack the British destroyers in the south of the North Sea. The small cruisers were supported by, wo sub- marines. Three German, battle-crui- sers were to be ready with all boilers under steam to put to sea, and a third light cruiser, the "Kolberg." was to wait of Terschelling, The Strass- light cruisers steamed-the burg" to 30 miles, and the "Stral- sund" to 35 miles S.E. of Yarmouth and signed and exchanged a dis- cant fire with two British light cruisers and several British destroyers.

From many British stations the shrill piping of our wireless was heard i by the Germans, sending uncoded? messages, and at last

From 'a more powerful station. repeated or transmitted, came signals so strong that they could be easily taken in by our ships ar Wilhelms- haven. For instance, the Preussen took in the wireless: Captain 151; Flotilla reports 1st class cruiser chas ing Folla Can squadron sup port?***

There is some criticism by the author of our plan of sending en clair. which was not uncommon in similar emergencies. The reason was that it saved ten to fifteen minutes. And in this case, though the author naturally did not know, those messages brought out Commodore:Tyrwhitt with his fast Cruisers, steaming hard out of sight o the Germans, to cut them off They were too quick for him," how- ever.

The British light craft mistook the four-fuelled Strassburg? for the four-funnalled armoured cruiser **-Yorck,**** and naturally held aloof the more so they hoped, to cut her

off with more powerful vessels.
