MARITIME MISHAPS.
LONDON, Jan. 1
Naval experts are of opinion that the three destroyers ran into a minefield laid by a submarine minelayer.
The Daily Mail connects the episode with Admiral Jellicoe's retirement.
The Admiralty mine sweeping sloop Arbutus was torpedoed and foundered in severe weather. The commander, another officer and seven men are missing.
The boarding steamer Grive was also torpedoed and sunk, but there were no casualties.
