In the beginning of the war several werships were sunk by submarines, but in November only the Viper was torpedoed, on the Dover roads, whilst during the whole of December not a single uurship fell a victim to the submarino craft. If during that time no warships had ap peared at sea, this would have been suffi cient explanation but this was not the Besides the well-known raid of December 16th by Gennan heavy and light cruisers on the British coast, overal light cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers were reported on December 18th and later repeatedly small flotillas of cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers As this scored so curious to me, after January I had all data in regard to war ships at sea carefully registered, and from these data is appears that between January 1st and June 30th, Netherlands etips in the North Sea met British orui- gers and destroyers eighty tires, that four times large Gorman squadrons were observed in the North Sea, and that five times cruisers and destroyers of unknown naionality were seen. This is only in connection with the facts I was able to warify, and naturally I have mo data covering the whole North Sea
