Zeebrugge Raid Veterans.
Joined in Ostend Exploit
Survivors Relate How Vindctve Crsed Twenty Minutes
in Plain View of Enemy Gunners to Find
Vital Place to Sink

LONDON, May 1-A large number
in the operation against the Zeebrugge
mole on April % claimed the right to
participate in the Ostend operations
and the sinking Of the old cruiser Vim
dictive, says the Central News story
of the raid, and their wish was graft
fed. All the men on the Vindictive
were volunteers from the Dover patrol.
At $3.50 o'clock the Warwick, flagship
Of Admiral Reyes, sighted motor
launch. which had on board two officers
and thirty-eight men of the Vindictive.
An officer who was on the destroyer
described the operations.
up to 1:45 o'clock we heard moth
ing of the enemy" he said Then he
searchlights. A heavy hombardment
followed, beginning when we were
about two and one-half miles from the
shore.
by the light of star shells and
searchlights our smoke stream was To-
Gated. Then a fog came on, and the
airmen were prevented from continuing
their work For an hour this state Of
things continued. but then the weather
cleared sufficiently to permit our air
men to resume their operations.
Foe Gunners Sight Cruiser
"A heavy fire was turned on the Vim
dctve When at last she found the
entrance to the harbor she ran her
stem into the pier and was abandoned.
1.-The crews of the motor launches
behaved in the most gallant manner,
rushing into shore utterly regardless
of their safety, to see that no one was
left behind. One launch brought off
two officers and thirty eight men from
the Vindictive. Another, which subse-
quently went alongside, took off lieu
tenant and two ratings who were
wounded, while two other motor
launches, also detailed for rescue work,
kept close to the shore, their crews dis
playing the greatest pluck and deter
mination.
"Our vessels effectively bombarded
the shore batteries. The work of the
monitors in this respect was paric-
ularly fine. Altogether, 200 shells fell
within few yards of two of the mont
tors. but neither was hit made nor
was a casualty caused. During the
whole operation not one enemy craft
was seen. At $3.50 o'clock, acc ording
to the programme, the retirement was
begun"
Enemy Slow to Open
Commander Lynes. who conducted
the blocking operation at Zeebrugge,
was in command on the present occa-
sion. He tells the following story:
1.-THE outward passage was made
without interference on the part of the
enemy. The small craft were all dis
patched to their stations, with destroy
ers in support, and two coastal motor
boats were told off to torpedo the piers.
Before the arrival of the Vindictive,
until AS o'clock, the enemy was re-
markedly quiet, but just at this time
the Germans began to open fire. Star
shells showed that the smoke screens
were progressing excellently
AT about this time the sky. which
hitherto had been almost unclouded,
began to be partially obscured by low
drifting clouds. In about ten minutes.
before the Vindictive was due at her

destination, sea fog set in. This
stopped our air attack Indeed, for
time even the searchlights could not
be seen. This state of things continued
for almost an hour, when it cleared
sufficiently for the air attacks to be
recommended.
Describes Lurid Scene
at was a lurid scene when the Vim
dict've arrived at 2 o'clock, practically
programme time. There was thunder
ing of guns on sea and land. The ex-
ploding of bombs from airplanes added
cry of agony from some one mortally
wounded. Searchlights crss-crossed
above, and the whole scene was illu-
minated with flashes and star shells.
This was the picture for full hour.
THE Vindictive cruised about for
twenty minutes in the fog, looking for
the entrance to the harbor, which she
eventually found She sank herself
about 200 yards inside the eastern en-
trance. The Vindictive's crew was res
cued by motor launch, which brought
off two officers and thirty-eight men,
and another which went alongside and
took off lieutenant and two men.
Two other motor boats detailed for
fully under very heavy fire, but found
no one"
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
ly the use of the harbor, the Press AS
ISOLATION says. making it impossible
for cruisers to go in and out. Elk
perts do not go so far as to say that
the same disability applies to subma-
rines and destroyers.
Why Other Attempt Failed
An interesting disclosure may now
be made regarding the previous at
tempt to block Ostend. 1t was unsuc-
cessful because the enemy had just
moved about mile from his former
position. 1t is believed that if he had
not made this change both block ships
would have got in.
The entire operation at Ostend was
carried out on lines similar to the raid
of April %, when concrete laden cruis-
ers were sunk in the harbor of Zee
brugge, the most important German
submarine base.
The Vindictive, because of fog, ex-
perienced the greatest difficulty in
find the entrance to the harbor. The
enemy employed star shells and
searchlights extensively, and for TWEEN
ty minutes the vessel was in full view
of the enemy batteries. AS she cruised
up and down seeking the entrance she
was hit repeatedly and several casual
ties were sustained. 1t was 1920
o'clock when the piers we're sighted
almost alongside. and then the Ger
man machine guns opened fearful
fire.
Having found his bearings, the cap
tain swung his concrete laden cruiser
around and rammed her stem against
the eastern pier, leaving his lieuten-
ant to work the engines with the OBJ
ject of sending the ship across the
channel. He then discovered that the
cruiser was aground aft, and that it
was impossible to turn her any fur
Their. He called his crew from the en-
CINE room and stokehold and then set
off explosive charges.
While the vessel was being aban-

official account Of the attack on Os-

"The second British attempt found

the first. The reason why only Ostend
was attacked this time is not clear.
The. British developed heavy artificial

"The enemy opened fire at 2:45 from

of Ostend at 3 o'clock and our bat
teries opened a we'll aimed fire.

new assistant secretary, is advanced"
in his views of labor's place in the
social organism, he is generally given
credit for conservatism in his views Of
how social changes are to be brought
about without disturbing the existing
structure of society. The appointment
reflects the intention Of the Admins
tration to give a more comprehensive
