 Searching for the Foe.
 Concluding his account of the battle.
 Vice Admiral Jellicoe wrote:
 ks At daylight on the first of June,
 the battle feet being southward Of
 Horn Reef, turned northward in
 search of the enemy vessels and for
 the purpose of collecting our own cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers. 1 The visibility early on the first of June was three to four miles less than on May 31, and the torpedo boat destroy CTS, being out of visual touch, did not rejoin the fleet until g a. m. The Brit ish fleet remained in the proximity of the battlefield and near the line of ap- proach to German ports until Il a. nn., in spite of the disadvantage of. long distances from fleet bases and the dan- ger incurred in waters adjacent to the enemy's coasts from submarines and torpedo craft "The enemy, however, made no sign, and was reluctantly compelled to ths conclusion that the High Sea Fleet had returned into port. Subsequent events proved this assumption to have been correct. Our position must have been known to the enemy. as, at a. m., the feet engaged a Zeppelin about a-,~ fxx1z tEu1, had ample opportunity to note and subsequently, report the position and course of the British fleet.
 ''The waters from the latitude of Horn Reef to the scene of action were thoroughly searched and some survf- vors from the destroyers Ardent, For tune and Tipperary were picked up. The Sparrow Hawk, which had been in collision, was no longer <seaworthy and was sunk after the crew was talk en of. A large amount of wreckage was seen, but no enemy ships, and at 1:15. it being evident that the German fleet had succeeded in returning to port, our course was shaped. for our bases, which were reached without further incident on Friday, the second of June.
 "Thel cruiser squadron was detached to search for the Warrior which had been abandoned while in tow of the Engedine on the way to the base, ow- ing to bad weather setting in, and the vessel becoming urseaworthy. No trace of her was discovered. and fur ther subsequent search by the light cruiser fsquadron having failed to 1o- cate her, it was evident she had foun- dered.
 ''The fleet was fueled, sreplenished it's ammunition, and at 9.30 D. m., on the second of June, was reported ready further action" ,i,, <, ;, ,ss 2. s,s
 Two estimates of the total tonnage lost by the Germans in the Jutland battle have been made by British off, cials. The more conservative one, who included in his list only vessels seen to sink,'' and based his estimate on the theory that the battleships sunk were Of the oldest dreadnought typo, gives the German tonnage lost as 10s,- 22o. as compared with British loss in tonage Of 112, ,350 He concludes that the Germans lost two battleships of the dreadnought type of 1S,900 tons each, one of the Deutschland type of 1s.2oo tons. the battle. cruiser Lutzow of 9, 900 tons, five cruisers of the Ros- tock type, making total of 24.5oo tons for this type; six destroyers az gregating 4,s2o tons, and One subma- rine ofs800 tons.
 The moro liberal estimate places the German loss at 117,22o tons, as fol- lows:
 One dreadnQught of the Kronprinz type, 25. .480 tons; one Of the Helgoland type. P, 40 tons; battleship Pommern. 13, 900 tons: battle cruiser ,1tzouy 2s,0oo tons: five Rostocks, aggregatfng 24,50o tons: destroyers aggregating 40o0, and a submarine of 800 tons.
