Last week we lost merchantmen over 1,600 tons and two

mailer vesses ; nine ships beat off their asitailants. in the previous week we had lost twelve large and two small ships. The Admiralty announce for the first time the 103.1 of a merchantman in the last week of July and another loss occurring in the second week of August. It would be interesting to know whether the enemy tried to sink these unlucky vesses '' without leaving a trace bohr inn,'' as Count Luxburg suggested. In some eases the murderers have, we fear, succeeded.
