8 BRITISH BOATS
SUNK BYGERNANS
ABouRkIR, HoGUE AND cREssY,
SISTER SHIPS, GO TO BOTTOM
IN NORTH SEA.
N USE SUBMARINES
Vessel Blown in Air-Los3 of Life Is
Heavy, Is Each Cruiser Carried
More than Seven Hundred
Men in Crews.

London.-Three great armored Brit
ish cruisers-the Abourkir, the Hogue
and the Cressy-with hundreds of
dead, and two German submarine
boats, r at the bottom of the North
Sea, following the first naval engage
ment of real consequence in the war.
Three of the attacking German sub
marines escaped, according to surviv-
ors Of the cruisers, who we're landed
at Ymulden, Holland, but the quick
fire of numerous English guns sent
the other two to the bottom.
The Abourkir was torpedoed first,
and then as her sister cruisers, the
Hogue and the Greasy, approached to
pick up the survivors their hulls were
ripped open by torpedoes shot from
the German submarines, which prob
ably arose under the war vessels.
Apparently the sea was then riddled
from shots from the quick-firing guns
of the British warships in an effort
to sink the flotilla of submarines
which had stealthily crept under them.
Any ripple or eddy on the surface of
the sea which might indicate the loca-
ton of a submarine became the target
for English steel.
While the announcement of this dis
aster by the official news bureau does
not state whefe it occurred, it is as
sumed that the Abourkir, the Hogue
and the Cressy were part of the line
of more than 100 British war vessels
that form a great line bottling the
German fleet in Heligoland Bay, at the
mouth of the Elbe and the entrance to
the Kiel canal.
