Smoke from many funnels wrs sighted at ten o'clock and then Hoiboy the Ilcon (armoured cruiser, 9,350 tone) with the Augsburg and cebu & four destroyera came up and were attroked by the Russians. They fled southwards in half an hour. The submarines accompanying them unsuccessfully attacked the Russians.

The Rurik, which was in the rear, was ordered to atteck and engaged two craisers of the Roan and Bremen (3,200 tone, 3rd claes) olasses later. They had apparently, just arrived and the Augsburg, which was damaged in the previous action, kept at a respectful dia

The Roon's sight inch guns were successively silenced by the Rurik'a salvces and abe also tock fire.

The Gertaan then led and disappeared in fog pursued by the Rurik, which was again unsuccessfully sttacked by a submarine.

The enevalties of all the Roesian chips were only fourteen men 'wounded,

Approaching the Russian coast the squadron was joined by battleships and flotillas of destroyers, the latter repelling submarines which were most active and especially so against the Rurik.
