flicted upon them.
"At almost the same time enemy
destroyers engaged ono of our de
stroyers on patrol to the eastward
of the Straits of Dover, sinking her
with a torpedo. She returned the
fire, using torpedoes and guns. The
result is not known.
"There were eight survivors from
the crew. All the oflcers were drown

torpedoed but not seriously damag
ed, whilst picking up the survivors
from the first. 'A British merchant
vessel on the northern part of the
Downs, was sunk bya torpedo during
Saturday night."
