There are several interesting minor naval matters to record. There

is good reason to believe that since we last wrote three of the enemy's submarines have perished in the North Sea, two at the hands of British ships and one owing to the skilful action of the commander of a French destroyer. The destroyer sighted the enemy's periscope, and at once rammed the subs marine. The great quantity of oil that soon came to the surface and the injured bows of the destroyer showed that the blow had gone home. Another pleasant item is the news that a large converted cruiser of the enemy, the Berlin,' a liner of over seventeen thousand tons, has been interned and disarmed at Trondbjem.
