In addition the British cruiser Glas-
gov and the transport Otranto were
struck by shells from the German
ships and damaged.
If, as believed, the fire stricken and
shell riddled cruiser Good Hope went
to the bottom in the gale that was
raging during the battle it Is certain
that Sir Christopher Cradock, who was
commander of the British squadron in
Mexican waters, lost his life.
The warships in the fleet which de-
feated the English were the Scharn-
horst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg, Leipzig
and Bremen. They won as the re-
suit of two factors: Heavier ordnance
and superior gunnery. The weather
was rainy and foggy and there was
gale blowing when the battle opened.
In spite of the mist and the rolling
of the ships, the Germans made near
ly every shot tell.
German Cruisers Missing.

from Rear Admiral Cradocks squad

the Chilean coast Sunday. There was
no reply to the radiogram.
The Germans heard the Monmouth
sink and heard an explosion on board
the Good Hope which they believe
sent the crippled flagship to the bottom.
All that night the German cruiser
Nurnberg searched the seas unsuccess-
fully for the Good Hope. Whether
the Glasgow and the transport Otran-
to, which escaped destruction, sur
vived the damage suffered is not
known.
The whereabouts also of the German
cruisers Leipzig and Bremen remains
in doubt.

about commencing the bravery of the
Britishers in the uneven combat and
intimated that an effort to save lives
would have been made IL the storm,
which assumed almost hurricane pro-
portions, had permitted.

London, Nov. 6.-Battleships and

four battleships and four cruisers
which slipped from Wilhelmshaven

1t is scarcely to be doubted that a
