AT SEA.

DRESDEN FIRED BY HER CREW

A COOL CAPTAIN

THE PRINZ EITEL'S CAREER

LONDON, 16. The Admiralty state that the crew set the Dresden afire.

The captain of the steamer Headlands coolly snapshotted the XJ29 while manoeuvring to discharge the torpedo. The photograph discloses the high bow •of iihe submarine designed for greater s.peed on the surface.

The Prinz Eitel has caused losses of half a milliosi. opinioja is that 'her career has not equalled the Emden's, and that not so much .credit is *iue for sinking a few cumbersome sailers encountered on a voyage and then seelcKig i£he shelter of a, neutral yort. The Emden caused a distinct disturbance >in Eastern commerce.
