On the Sea

GERMAN WITEAT SHIPS CAPTURED.

RUSSIAN FLEET ACTIVE IN BLACK SEA. I Athens, October 15. The Russian fleet captured two Gerinans steamers bound for Galatz with cargoes of cereals. (This may explain the firing heard in .tin: Black Sea, which was interpreted in ' some quarters as betokening an engagement between the Russian and Turkish fleets. Later messages proclaim Turkey's unwillingness to join in Germany's war, and the seizure of these two vessels off the Roumanian coast appear to account for the cannonading. Galatz is a river port of some importance on the Danube, many miles from its mouth.)

GERMAN SUBMARINE SUNK. FAR FROM HOME. VENTURED INTO SCOTTISH WATERS. , London, October 15. The newspaper Seofteman states 'that a German submarine was seen off the east coast of Scotland recently. It was apparently relying on a supply ship. Tuns' was oaptuired and the submarine then lay sealed in the shallow water for some tiiinie, rasing occasionally for a renewal of air.

Its commander thought Jie detected an opportunity of attacking the patirol fleet and three times fired torpedoes. On the third occasion a patrol vessel located the periscope and escaped damage. The isubinarine dived, Ibut a cordon of destroyers wailed until the submarine, which was practically without fuel, came to the surface, when it received a crashing fire and sank.
