At I o'clock the next morning, as
the sun was spreading its light across
the sky, a large white flag was run
up over Planter lighthouse. in the har'
Dor of Marseilles.
The white flag was saluted by two
guns from the two torpedo boats
which were slowly cruising around the
lighthouse.
They were the Cyclone and the La

The Cyclone, still in command of
