On Saturday last our light cruisers operating in the Heligoland
Bight sighted four German light cruisers and chased them back through their minefields until four enemy battleships and battle- cruisers appeared on the scene. Our cruisers hit and damaged three of the enemy cruisers, and one of our destroyers sank a mine- sweeper before withdrawing. The enemy battleships did not
venture outside their minefields. Our cruisers were but slightly damaged and sustained only a few casualties.
