BRITISH NAVAL SECRET.
WORK OF THE "HUSH BOATS"
LONDON, July 13. The Daily Chronicle describes two episodes about the class of boats known as the "hush boat" said to be performing important war services, and concerning which there is much mystery. The newspaper states that the greatest ship of the fleet carried Mr. Balfour, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, across the Atlantic on his mission to America. The vessel made the trip out and back under six days. Some time ago a report was current that the Germans, by a miracle, had got a raider through the blockade. A "hush" boat quitted her moorings at an unbelievable speed- She did her work all right, and returned quietly to her moorings with her secret.
