Nearest the shore was a funnel
British cruiser. seven miles east of
Ambrose Channel Lightship. Her
name and the names OF her companions
could not be made out. even through
glasses. Ten miles east of the High
lands rode the second ship. an auxiliary
cruiser. big and with lines that spelled
speed. This cruiser, observers thought
was stranger here, the Caronia hay-
ing departed. presumably for supplies
The largest ship OF the squadron
Il four-funncl cruiser. lay fifteen miles
southeast Of the Highlands: This
vessel, too. had not been seen previous
ly by shore observers.
For more than an hour messages
were exchanged between the two war
ships. Apparently the four funnel

was issuing orders. Later n small
boat bearing officers put out from the
auxiliary cruiser and made the five
mile trip to the four-funnel cruiser.
and the officers went aboard
Meantime. the cruiser off the AM
