THE RETREAT FROM THE CITY
BRITISH NAVAL BRIGADE ACTS AS REARGUARD. AMSTERDAM, 16th October. When the retreat from Antwerp was ordered, the First Naval Brigade acted as the rearguard. The Germans hotly pursued them, but the brigade held them back. After twenty hours' march the brigade found that their retreat was cut off. The railway front was then blown up, and, though staggering with exhaustion, the brigade would have cut its way to Ghent. This, however, meant annihilation, and the men obeyed orders and crossed the Dor3er.
