It was the light which guided the Vindictive to the Ostend piers in the great raid of last year, and it is learned from the visitor that a double row of Dover'"flares formed a wonderfully-illuminated avenue across the English. Channel towards tho end of the war. With nets stretched below, hung with contact mines, and Dover flares above, the Germans were given no chance of getting through the Channel.
