In tho district of Flensburgr, SchleswigHolsteln, of a small dingtiy belonglug to the German crulaor Nuernbors, ■which was dostroyod off tho Falkland Islands early In tho war. The boat has been identified as a genuine relic of the loßt warship, bearing a brnsa plate Inscribed Nuernberg 1 , and Its sudd&n and mysterious reappearance upon tho shore of the Fatherland from tho other slda of the world, causes feelings bordering on awe. It Is surmised that tho boat, whoso length is 3 1 /j i metres, drifted from the Falkland Islands to Iceland, and thenco homewards by south-westerly winds to within v few miles from Its original starting point. The little em?*, which will shortly be placed In the Historical Museum In Berlin, is regnrdod us a happy omen for Germany, (mil a dra- ! malic rncfluttjiTO from the dead heroes i beyond the «wi>j to tho Fatherland to ; remain staunch.
