Germans Prompt.
The Germans anchored last night
and appeared Mt the appointed place
promptly. The British ships. with
their crews, at quarters and every
gun manned. took precautions that
nothing untoward occurred.
One of the eighteen destroyers in tho
feet took position ahead of the two
German transports accompanying the
submarines. Other dcntroyers steamed
along or each side when the column
started toward Harwch.
The column was divided Into FIVE
divisions. IN addition to the seapanes
dir.giblcs kept company with the fleet
and an ol scrvation balloon, which was
anchored to a cruiser, kept vigil.
Ten miles from Harwich the fleet was
met by more British destroyers, which
carried crews from British subma-
rlnes. There men divided into parties
of fourteen for each German boat and
each was transferred by American
submarine ctasers to U-boats. where
a British officer quickly took charge.
