SMASH GERMAN FLEET
British Destroy Sixteen Vessels
in North Sea.
Four Sunk, Four Captured, Five
Stranded, One Wrecked and Two
Badly Damaged.

London, July 1S.-A fleet of II small
German vessels ventured forth from
Rotterdam in an attempt to run the
British blockade. A powerful British
mosquito" f1otilla lay in wait for them
out in the North sea. This is what
happened to the Teuton ships:
Four sunk, four captured, five strand
ed, one wrecked, two fled back, badly
damaged by gunfire, total, sixteen. One
fed back and reached shore unframed.
1t was the first effective blow the
British. navy has dealt to the German
Notwithstanding system in three years
of warfare. 1t was made possible by
the presence in British waters of Amer
lean destroyers, which enabled the
British to detail a large part of their
, mosquito craft to watch the crafty lit
tie Teuton SmugglerS.
The British admiralty in a statement
accounted only for six of the German
ships. saying four were captured and
two driven back 10 the Dutch shore,
riddled by gunfire. From Ymuiden
came unofficial news of the fate of the
other blockade-runners.
The German ships paid no attention
to the stop" signals of the British de-
stroyers. They simply turned around
and started wild race for the shore
whence they came. But the British de-
stroyers were too swift for them and
the gunfire too effective. The crews of
two of the vessels captured escaped"

tails are given, this suggests the dra-
matte picture of fully score of sailors.
