All about them, cutters and whalers, rising and falling 011 the swell, were quickly being laden to the gunwales with scalded, bleeding, or half-drowned prisoners. A midshipman m the stern of a cutter was waving a bedraggled German ensign and half-laughnigly shouting at his crew to stop gapjng at the Zeppelins and attend to orders. The barking of the light cruisers' highangled guns was punctuated by the whinny of falling bombs and pieces of shell that whipped the surface of the sea into spurts of foam. In -'the background the sinking cruiser blazed sullenly, her ammunition exploding like gigantic Chinese crackers. 1 In the bows of the whaler referred to 1 above the bowman sat regarding the | captive of his bow and spear (or rather, 1 boat-hook). "'Ere, Turpits !" he said, and removing his cap, he produced the stump of a partly-smoked cigarette. Tho 1 j captive took it with a water smile, ' 1 and pawed his rescuer's tudusers. , "Kamerad!" he said. "Not 'arf!" said his captor apprecia- ' tively. "Not 'arf you ain't, you son of a !" i The second bow, laboring at his oar, looked back over his shoulder. 1 " 'Ush!" he said reprovingly. " 'E i can't understand. Wots the use o' ; ; wastin' that on 'im?" He spat con- f' temptuously over the gunwale. ' The following thoughtful description of the action appeared m the German '■ wireless communique next morning : # •' i Our light forces, m m enterprise ! off the English coast, put to flight a vastly superior strength of armed merchant cruisers, escorted by destroyers. English fleet, on coming to tho rescue, was compelled to withdraw, and our forces returned to harbor without further molestation. Every man to his own trade.
