The story Of the game as pieced to-

Admiral Helm and forced him to &C

there was no hope Of escape. The UNI

The cruiser Baltimore sighted i've
oattleships. two cruisers and three
other units Of the Red feet at P. NJ,
Aug. 20. They were 500 miles of the
coast. steaming west. The Baltimore
dared not attack sucn a force and pre-
sumably ned for safety.
1t was II A. NJ, Aug. Is, before the
Red force again was sighted. This time
1t was a battleship which was picked
up 100 miles Off New York. Again the
Blue scout was out-matched.
At $50 p. NJ, Aug. 25. the DESTROYER
benham, later reported destroyed in
action, sighted the Red transport train
IS miles off the New Jersey coast. Re-
lying on her speed to escape the con-
voying warships the Benham followed
the transports. keeping Admiral Helm
Informed. At that time the Blue Bat
tie fleet was Is miles further in shore,
steaming In q line parallel to the
transport train.
! AT $3.50 the same evening the Ben
ham reported that three enemy battle
ships and the transport train had
! headed tn-shore to make a landing.
Admiral Helm drove his battle fleet
forward to intercept the enemy" at
| daylight. He sighted the Red ships at
5 o'clock Saturday mornig. The trans
port train was steaming in toward the
Long Island Coast with its destroyer
screen thrown out to the southwark.
During the night. however, tho Red
battle fleet also had come up, and
steaming parallel to the transports
and between them and the Blue fleet,
| interposed itself to cut off Admiral
| Helms attack.
The fleets engaged promptly. but the
Blue position was hopeless. To cut
off the rush of transports for the coast
it had to swing sharply to the west.
AS the Blue ships came to the turn
they flied in one at a time and caught
| the concentrated IRE Of Admiral May
o's guns.
While the battle was still in prog
ress Admiral Helm played his last
card. The II submarines. modified at
Block Island the preceding night
| were following the movements Of the
Red transports. but keeping well in
shore as a last line Of defense.
Daylight found them within one
hour or two Of the chosen landing
place Of the invaders. Admiral Helm,
ordered them forward in a desperate
effort to destroy the troop ship. but
they were not equal to the task. and
the transports and their shielding
| fighting ships steamed by victorious.
