Her whole midships was a fuming inferno, yet she had one gun forward aiid one aft still spitting forth fury and defiance like a wild cat mad with its wounds. A cruiser of t'/io Breslau class recommenced firing. AVo d.d not care a farthing, for stra'ght ahead of us in lordly procession, like elephants walking through a j.nek of dogs, came the Lion, Queen Mary, Invincible, and New Zealand, great, grim, uncouth, like some antediluvian monsters."
