IN the squadron off Rochefort, dated
! March l9, 1907" We are this day
nooring our ships in a halfmoon line
jot battle, within four miles of the enc
my's ships, and our frigates half way
IN advance, so that it is impossible for
the Frenchmen 20 get out without
bringing us to action. They have one
three decked ship, and ten two-deck
ers. We have the same, but am a.
fraid they will not engage as, and that
it will be along blockade. It is said
that the commander in chief is deter.
mined to lay at anchor, blow high or
low, so that they cannot escape"
