BALTIC SUBMARINES.
CREWS LEAVE PETROGRAD.
PROVISIONS FOR A MONTH
LONDON. May 17. TnE Times correspondent at Petrograd states that the bluejackets from the seven British submarines which were blown up to save them falling into the hands of the enemy left the city for England, travelling on the Murman railway, which runs to Alexandrovsk, on the Arctic Ocean. They took a month's provisions with them. Tho people of I'etrogr.i.d were greatly excited at the spectacle provided by the bluejackets sitting on cases of Australian bully beef j which they jealously guarded with their loaded rifles lest any attempt should be made to appropriate "it. Their spick-and-span appearance and their cleanliness were in fit-range contract with the dirty, undisciplined Russian soldiers and sailors and the others in the motley mob surrounding them. Their departure marked the la«t scene and the end of Britain's help to Russia.
