vid Beatty, in pursuance of his object. tack
led a vastly superior force hoping to delay it
until Vice-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe's battle
fleet arrived to destroy the Germans Vice
Admiral Beatty achieved n brilliant sue
cess because ON the arrival of Vice Adj
miral JeIlicoe the Germans fed. We at
tanned our object. The Germans failed to
attain theirs. We lost cruisers which we can
afford to lose. The Germans lost battleships
which they cannot afford to lose.
