The British converted cruiser
Drama, while on the lookout in the
South Pacific for the enemy's ships,
came upon the German armed liner
Navarro, which had been commits
stoned to prey upon British and
French commerce. After q heated
battle in which the heavier arma-
ment and the superior gunnery Of the
British crew played havoc with the
German vessel, the Navarro caught
fire in several places and the crew
took to the boats, to be rescued by
the >Orama.
These, unusual pictures were taken
by an officer Of the Drama and show
three stages in the last moments Of
the doomed vessel. At the top, the
Navarra's crew is pulling away in
small boats after the decks had
caught fire in several places. In the
middle, the doomed vessel is seen
listing after the water had begun to
pour into her hold through the holes
torn by the shells. Her decks were
now q veritable furnace The crew
had already been taken aboard the
Drama when this picture was made.
The lower photograph shows the
Navarro taking her final plunge.
