at was lurid scene when the VIM

was Illuminated with flashes and star
shells. This was the picture for a
full hour. The Vindictive cruised for
about twenty minutes in the fog, look
ing for the entrance to the harbor,
which she eventually found. She sank
herself about 200 yards inside tho
eastern entrance. The Vindictive's
crew was rescued by motor launches.
Other motor boats searched the
shores carefully under very heavy
fire but found no one.''
BIG VESSELS BARRED.
According to the press association
the Vindictive had a complement of
fifty-two officers and men. The effect
of the operation was to restrict great
est use OF the harbor, making It i'm
possible for cruisers to go in and out.
Experts do no go so far as to say that
the same disability applies to subma-
r1nes and destroyers.
An interesting disclosure may now
be made regarding the previous at
temps to block Ostend. It was unsuc-
cessful because the enemy had just
moved about q mile from his former
position. 1t is believed that If he had
not made this change both blockships
would have got in.
