have so much to tell. First, l shall
tell what happened today We, with
the English grand feet got under way
this morning at 800 o'clock. You see
we, the New York flagship, Texas,
Arkansas, Wyoming and Florida, OPP
Grating with the English grand fleet,
went out in the North Sea to meet the
German high sea feet and bring them
into this port, which is one of our
naval bases. There were about seventy
German ships to be taken over. The
names OF the battleships are Kaiser,
kaiserin, koening, Albrecht, Kron-
prinz, Margraf, Grosser Kurfurst,
Bayern, Koenig, Frederick der
Crosse, battle cruisers Hindenburg,
Derfinger, Leydlietz; light cruisers
Emden, Frankfurt, Bremen, Breiss,
Coplenz, Dresden, and others, all of
the very latest type They left Kiel
canal Nov. 18th at a. M, but here
I'm about to get off my story. We left
Roysth this morning. 1t was dark
until about 7:30, but as soon as day
began to break everyone was station
ed at their battle station. About $50
general quarters were sounded by the
ships bugler and everyone was on the
alert because we expected battle at
any minute then. The battle flags
were hoisted on the main mast and
foremost, and all turrets manned so
we were ready for action About
$50 a. m. the German high sea fleet
was sighted. We at once got their
range and turned all turrets on them.
You see, they were supposed to have
no ammunition aboard, but of course
we did not know this to be absolute
ly true, and our orders were to fire
on the first ship that turned her tur-
rets but they were very peaceful. You
could not blame them for there were
about three hundred English, French
-anl Annesioan ships to +tsLiss c:srls al
them. We got into battle formation.
which is a wonderful sight to behold,
and then started to Rosyth We
reached here about p M. and not
a shot fired; something which will go
down in history, for it was the first
time i'll history a fleet ever surrender,
ed without a battle.
Mother, | would not take anything
for being here and witnessing this
