Two very fast and heavily armed German raid ers were engaged by the de stroyers the admiralty stat ed. Fighting against heavy odds, the lintish held the Germans at bay until; the three merchantment in con voy had escaped. Neither of the destroyers are listed in the latest naval annual, and are therefore believed to have been built since the beginning of the war. . ' - . Five Norwegian and three Swedish unarmed merchant men were sunk in addition to the destroyers. ' the merchantmen were destroyed without examina tion of their cargoes and without regard for the lives of the passengers or crew. The raiders were evidently anxious to escape before other British forces interfered. Tilissiuii I-'lret lulii Kravely. rETIWHRAD, Oct. 20.
