HOT naval FIGHT
IN THE NORTH SEA:
BOTH BOATS SINK
German Raider Tries to Run
British Blockade Same
Day Meowe Returns

London, March 26.-The British naval
guard in the North sea headed off on
Feb. % a German raider which was try.
ing to run the blockade, it is officially
announced. In the resulting engagement
both the raider-the auxiliary cruiser
Grief, and the British armed ship that
stopped her, the Alcantara-were sunk,
the fight being described as a hot one,
recalling the naval duels of the days be-
fore the ironclads.
The German and British statements on
the engagement differ. Only one British
vessel is mentioned in the London adj
miralty account. while Berlin declares
that three British cruisers and a Destroy
er were in the action. The Greif was
struck by torpedo from a 15OOO-ton
cruiser and finally blew herself up, the
German admiralty asserts. London says
torpedo from the Grief sent the Alcan-
tara to the bottom. The British captured
some 12O Germans from the raider.
The Greif attempted to run the British
blockade the day the German cruiser
Moewe returned. Evidently it was ex-
pected the patrol squadron would be en-
gagged in hunting for the Moewe, but the
Gordon of auxiliares left no loophole.
Seeing herself in a tight hole, the Greif
turned eastward, proceeding toward home
in leisurely manner so as not to at
tract too much attention when she sailed
by the Alcantara.
The two ships lay almost side by
side. while the captain Of the British
steamer inquired by megaphone for par
tculars of the strange vessel which,
accordin to the official report, had
the Norwegian colors painted on her
sides, but which flew no flag The in
quiries from the Alcantara were an
swered in perfect Norwegian; but the
actions of the raider aroused the s,ls-
| pcion of the British auxiliary. She
was lowering boat to send a searching
party aboard when the Germans opened
| fire.
| The action is described as one Of the
hottest of the war, recalling duels be-
tween evenly matched frigates in the
days before the time of ironclads. Ac-
ccrting to the British account, the Ger
man raider was put out of action by
a few broadsdes and sank after 1o
minutes. She was followed to the bot
tom few minutes later by her VIC
torious adversary, which evidently fell
a victim to a torpedo launched by the
Greif's tube a moment before the raid
~ disappeared.
Other British warships soon appear
ed on the scene and rescued members
