On the sea things have been quiet, but the Admiralty
announced on Thursday that the cruiser ' Roxburgh ' (10,850 tons) was struck by a torpedo on Sunday last in the North Sea, bnt that the damage sustained was not serious. There were no casualties. The Roxburgh' is an armoured cruiser of the ' Devonshire ' clan. She was built in 1905. In this context it should be stated that the ' Tunisiania,' owned by Messrs. Furnese, Withy, and Co., was sunk on Wednesday by an explosion off Lowestoft. The members of the crew are stated by the Morning Post to be confident that the vessel WIZ torpedoed, and that the explosion was not the result of striking a mine.
