"blue" fleet was sunk" The full eX-

the ships, "red' and "blue" alike, start

When the game began Admiral
Helms fleet was assembled at Nara
gansett while Admiral Mayo with. his
fleet and long transport train We're
coo miles off Cape Hatteras. At G q.
IA. on August % Admiral Helm ee-
eeived word of his .enemt''s location
and his seventeen scouts swept out TO
sea in long circling line. An hour
later the "blue" battleships, also were
at sea following the scouts. .,.s
Details Of Maneuvers.
The cruiser Baltimore sighted five
batteships. two cruisers and three
other units of the red fleet at 6 p.
m. August %. They were 500 miles
oti the coast. steaming west. Balti-
mere dared not attack such force
and presumably fled for safety.
1t was IL a. m, August 25, before
the fred" force again was sighted.
This time it was battleship which
was picked up 1870 miles off New York.
Again the "blue" scout was out-mateh-
ed
At $50 p. M, August 25, the de-
stroyer Benham, later reported de-
stroyed in action, sighted the "red"
transport train IS miles off the New
Jersey coast. Relying on her speed to
escape the conveying warships, the
Benham followed the transports, keep
ing Admiral Helm informed. At that
time the fleet was fifteen miles fur
Tier inshore, steaming in line paral-
lei to the transport train. At $3.50
the same evening the Benham report
ed that three enemy battleships and
the transport train had headed inshore
ts make landing.
Admiral Helm drove his battle fleet
forward to intercept the "enemy" at
daylight. He sighted the "red" ships
at 5 o'clock this morning. The trans
port train was steaming in toward
the Long Island coast with its destroy
er screen thrown out to southwark
During the night, however, the "red"
t:.ttle fleet also had come up and
steaming parallel to the transports

interposed itself, to cut off Admiral
Helms attack.
Enemy Fleet Victorious. Il
The fleets engaged promptly but
the "blue" position was hopeless. To
cut off the rush of the transports
fot the coast, it had to swing sharp
~ to the west.
AS the "blue" ships came to the
turn they filed in one at time and
caught the concentrated fire Of Ad-
miral Mayo's guns.
While the battle was still in prog
ress, Admiral Helm played his last
card. The submarines, modified at
Block island the preceding night,
were following the movements OF the
"red" transports but keeping well in
