The story of the engagement is told in an official report.
 The British destroyers were steam ing on a westerly course. It was in tensely dark, but calm. The Swift sighted enemy at six hundred yards and the Germans instantly opened fire. There were six German destroyers, ac- cording to German prisoners. The Swift replied and tried to ram the leading enemy destroyer. She missed rammlng, but torpedoed another enemy boat.
 Again the Swift dashed at the leader. which again eluded her and fled, with the Swift in pursuit.
 In the meantime the Broke launched a torpedo at the second boat in the line and hit the mark, and then opened fire with every gun.
 The Broke'S commander swung around to port and rammed the third boat abreast the after-funnel. Locked together thus, the two boats fought a desperate hand to- hand conflict. The Broke swept the enemys decks at point blank range with every. gun.
 Two other German deStroyers at tackled and poured devastating fire on the Broke, whose foremst gun crews were reduced from eighteen to six men. Midshipman Donald Gyles, although wounded in the eye, kept all the fore most guns in action, he himself assist in the depleted crews to load. While he was thus employed, number of Germans swarmed over the Broke's forecastle out of the ranmed destroyer and swept aft in shouting mob. The midshipman, half blinded by blood, met the onset singlehanded with an automatic pistol. He was grappled by German who tried to wrest the weapon away but the German was promptly bayonetted by Seaman In- gleson. The remainder of the invaders, except two who feigned death, were driven over the side, the two being taken prisoner.
 Two minutes after ramming. the Broke wrenched herself free from her adversary and turned to ram the last of the three remaining boats. She failed | in this object, but in swinging around, succeeded in hitting the boats consort with torpedo. Hotly engaged with tbese two fleeing destroyers, the Broke attempted to follow the Swift, but a shell struck the Broke's boiler room, disabling her main engines.
 l The enemy then disappeared in the 1 darkness. The Broke, altering her course, headed toward a destroyer,
 which a few minutes later was seen to be heavily afire and whose crew, on sighting the British destroyer. sent
 up shouts for mercy. The Broke steered slowly toward the German, and the
 German seamen redoubled their shouts l tContinued on Page TwolN
