The poor old Good Hope and Mon- mouth were subjected to a terrific fire, and the admiral's last words were, " Get away at full speed, but our skipper turned to his first lieutenant, and asked, "Am I to leave, the admiral? But the case was hopeless. It would have been certain suicide.

We tried to distract their attention to us by having fames from our funnels, so as to make a target, because it became dark about eight p.m., and then some of the enemy's ships, seeing the state of the Good Hope, chased us and the Monmouth. The Monmouth was making water very badly, and at her best could only have done about twelve knots, whilst our engines were still safe, and we could go.

**MONMOUTH'S LAST MESSAGE.

"So the captain of the Monmouth, liko the brave man he was, signalled his last message, I can't get away, because my ship is making water rapidly forward, so I shall go back and engage the enemy (thus allowing us more time to escape) 'and endeavour to ram of torpedo one of them. What he really did no one knowa, and probably never will."

The writer speaks of the coolness of officers and mer on the Glasgow, during the battle, and of the cruiser's thrilling race for safety.

Salvo after salvo hit the poor decrepit old Good Hope and Monmouth?? (he continues), and they say the sight, as the four funnels of the Good Hope were 181,095.30 blown up by explosion, was awful The ship's side was red-hot, and even after that, with all her 'midships blown out of her, she continued firing Somehow or other, she had got quite close to the enemy in the darkness, and we think that her steering gear was shot away.
