The two incidents folkwing one upon the other exemplify the exellence of the patrol sorvion. Although the German. submarine escaped for the moment, a flotilla of the now class of British destroyers came up in time to sink the German torpedo-boats, which retreated before superior force, The "L" class of destroyers have previously distinguished themselves in action. The Germans are known to have lost at least ten or eleven torpedo-boats-there is no distinction in

the German Navy between destroyers and torpedo-beats--and on Saturday they lost iWO MOTO. The incidents of Saturday are characteristic of the work which is being performed by day and night by the British patrol service, and exemplifies the risks it incurs.
