Meantime. as a marine detachment was
rushed toward the back channel, three
other German sailors slipped into the
meadows. Running along the seawah to
avoid the barbed wire barricade partly
encircling interned ships, they tried to
slip past a sentry. The sentry fired and
ran towards the little group. Mounted
police galloped over the meadows and
caught two of the fleeing men. The other
one was found soon afterwards hiding be-
hind bush.
While the hunt was in progress the
powerful searchlight of the cruiser Salem,
tied up near the raiders, was swung back
and forth over the channel and the mead
