sci, H. M. s. Ramsay, met the German
auxiliary steamer Meteor on Sunday
and there was battle-a nISal battle
of significance, IL not great importance
because it was the first clash in these
waters for a long time. But the de-
tails of the battle are wholly lacking
All that is known of the engagement
is the admiralty's somewhat laconic
report that the Ramsay was sunk.

her crew, which probably numbered
100 or more being saved,
The victorious Meteor, however,
did not long survive. A squadron of
quick British cruisers, attracted by
the cannonading, soon nosed out the
German steamer and made short work
of her. At the outset the Meteor's
captain realized that he had no chance
and preferring to sink his own ship
to. having it fall into British hands, or.
dered his men to take to the boats
and then dynamite the vessel.
This is the admiralty's style of an
ncuncement of the episode:
"H. NJ. S. Ramsay, small armed
patrol vessel, was sunk by German
armed auxiliary steamer, the Meteor.
Sunday in the North Sea. Four Off
GERS and thirty-nine of the Ramsay's
crew were saved. The Meteor was
subsequently sighted by squadron
OF British cruisers. The commanding
officer realizing that escape was i'm
possible ordered his crew to abandon
the ship and then blew her up"

of either the Ramsay Of the Meteor.

the British steamer. of that name

Shipping company. She was requi-
