This Is the second instance recently
reported Of German merchant vessels
being captured in the North Sea.
Presumably these ships were enroute
70 Scandinavian ports for German sup
plies. The recent falling oif in Scandi-
navian sailings, due to heavy losses of
ships and desire Of ship owners to save
their vessels by keeping them in port,
may be forcing Germany 10 take great
chances 70 get much needed supplies.
The Germans did their best TO make
off and two ships were damaged by gun
fire from the British boats which sight
ed them. The admiralty statement
said:
"Our light forces on patrol duty
sighted a number Of German steam
ers Our signals were disregarded
and the ships made toward the Dutch
coast Two OF the rear most were
