The fact that a large flotilla of enemy ships could carry out such a daring exploit in this vital artery of traffic came as a shock after the immunity from attack which our shipping in these waters had enjoyed since the outbreak of the war. It was only last July that Admira! BACON made the gratifying report that the transport! operations under his control had not cost a single life. Mr. BALFOUR's defence in the House of Commons failed to throw any better light upon the incident or to carry conviction. He pointed out that

The explanation of the sinking of the Flirt seemed to have been that she was surprised in the darkness by the Ger man destroyers, who fired on her at close range.
