HERO OF HELIGOLAND FIGHT
British Officer Held Bridge After
 Both Legs Were Broken

LONDON.-The most striking ex- perience in the naval battle off Heli- goland was that of the destroyer Lau- rel, which led the division of four destroyers sent ahead by the British fleet to lure the Germans out.
 When the destroyer division, led by the Laurel, turned about to face the oncoming German destroyers it not only found itself unsupported by the cruisers, but saw coming out of the haze the light cruisers of the enemy.
 Nothing daunted, the division open ed fire. The Laurel, which was in an inside berth, had for some time to face the fire of one cruiser and two destroyers. The men engaged made light of the German craftsmanship, declaring that they ought to have been sent speedily to the bottom. The first shell which hit the Laurel found its way to the engine room, killing four men. The second struck the for ward gun, jamming the charge which was just about to be fired and killing three men.
 The third shell to strike her wound ed Commander Frank Rose seriously in the left leg, but though urged by his men to go below, he shifted his weight on to the other leg and con tinued to issue his orders as though nothing had happened.
 All this time the Laurel was mak- ing it desperately uncomfortable for the two destroyers with which she was engaged, one of which shortly afterward went to the bottom and giv- ing as good as she was getting from the cruiser as well.
 A piece of the fourth shell struck the commander on the sound leg and

He continued to fight his, ship until he lost conscious ness, just after he had learned that they had managed to extract the charge from the damaged gun.
 As he lay unconscious on the bridge one of the petty officers fastened tenderly a lifebelt round him, for by this time only three rounds of ammu- milton remained, and though the Brit iSh cruisers had appeared on the scene it appeared impossible that the Lau- rel could live much longer in the fire to which she was exposed.
 A final shell struck her amidships, enveloping her in a dense cloud of dust and smoke, and all on board

The Market In Cauls.

We believe that there is still some
market for cauls among sailors. who
retain their belief in the efficacy of the
membranes as a protection against
shipwreck and drowning. Notices of
"Cauls For Sale Within" were to be
seen recently in windows in the vicin-
ity Of the docks Of both London and
Liverpool. but 1t is some time since
we have noticed an advertisement OF u
caul for sale in the daily press. II may
be remarked that the sale of cauls, so
far from being very ancient custom.
is comparatively modern innovation
The witchcraft Of the middle ages de
clared against the caul retnining any
virtue whatever If parted with by gift
or sale to any but member of the
child's kindred. London Lancet
