overhauled and opened fire upon
her at a rangeof about ten miles,

“We were under fire from
first to last,” the bluejacket con-
tinuel, “when the British cen-
tered their fire on us. Their fire
’  wasawful. Our guns were put out
of action, our decks were swept,
and every gun crew was wiped
out, ‘One shell burst in the heart
of the ship, where many men
who had collected were killed.
I saw five killed with one shell

finished the Bluecher, as she was
Full of holes, but-I heard she
struck a torpedo. Ifso, we can
thank the torpedo for saving
hundreds of lives from the mur-
derous gunfire,

“When the ship was sinking,
I jumped clear of her into terri-
bly cold water, which was full
of dead men and men with shat-
tered limbs who were calling for
assistance. After being rescued
by the British, we were warmed,
fed and clothed.”

The sailor is credited with say-
ing that during the raid on Scar-
borough, the men believed they
were taking partin a great naval
action which was extending all
over the North Sea.

The Seotsman, which is pub-
lished in Edinburgh, also prints!
other accounts of the battle as
gathered from men engaged in
it. They describe it as one-of
the greatest strugyles in naval
history, and thrilling in every
respect. From the position of
the German fleet, when it was
first encountered, these men as-
sume that it waa virtually cer-
tain that its objective was New-
castle. The strength of. the
raiding syvadron was quickly
ascertained, and as thé entire
raiding force sheered off immed.
 fately after it was discovered,
the chase was along one before
the guns began their work.

For forty minutes-the twa
fleets raced along over the short-
est route for Heligoland before
the guns did any real..damage..
Then the Lion, which was lead-
ing overhauled the slow Bleucher |
and in passing, gave her a braad-
side, causing frightful damage.
The Lion did not wait, however,
but continued in pursuit of | the
fleeing Derflinger, Seydlitz and
Moltke. ;

The Tiger, which came next,
algo poured a broadside into the
Bluecher, as did also the Princess

Royal, both of which were speed-
ing on to join in the chase of the

Others. It was already evident
at this time, according tothenews-
paper's imformants, that the
Bluecher, abandoned by her
swifter consorts, was a doomed
ship.

London, Jan. 28:—In leading
financial circles here, the predic-
tion is being made that the war
will end much sooner than com-
monly believed, owing to Ger-
many’s inability to support the
financial strain. Next May is
mentioned as the probable date
of the German collapse.

An agreement was signed in
London yesterday, fora loan of
£5,000,000 to Roumania.

London, Jan, 28:-Official state-
ment:-The German cruiser Kol-

crisis, will be a great battle north
of the Carpathians. They. have
spread very large forees across
an eighty-mile front,. covering
the outlet from the passes east
of Dukla. They have developed
some advance during the last
three days, but this causes no
anxiety. tis, a process which
the Russians have induced them
to vo through twice lately, when
they were defeated in the same
region.

The best results have always
been won hitherto in the Car-
pathians by drawing the Austro-
German forces forward from
dense. woods into the open
country sloping toward Galicia.
This battle must greatly influenee
‘the entire southern campaign as
far as Servia and Transylvania.
It is an infinitely more serious
matter’ than the constant collis-
ions in the center of Poland
which, for the time being, is the

berg is reported to have been
sunk in Sunday’s battle, in the
North Sea. The Kolberg was a.
third class cruiser of 4,252 tons,
and a sister ship to the Mainz,
which was sunk by Vice Admiral
Beatty’s fleet, in the battle off
Heligoland Bight. She carried
acrew of 379, had a speed of
25.5 knots and carried twelve 4-

least important factor in all the
Russian battle line.

The initial stage of the battle
has already brought the Russians
valuable success, The Austrians
who had gathered a strong force
near the outlet of the Casliska
pass, were certainly subjected to
a Russian counter-attack and
suffered heavy losses, The fight-
ing begins to reveal the fatal
defects that beat them in the

inch and four 2-inch guns. She
was built at Danzicin 1910,
London:—An account of the

naval battle, printed in the Daily
Mail today, says, “‘At the close
o! the uetion, the Derflinger dis-
appeared from view, with her
funnel shot away and blazing
from stem to stern. The Moltke
was in no better plight and the
Seydlitz was awash astern, Ac-
cording to a German prisoner,
aireraft mistook the sinking
Bluecher for a British ship and
dropped bombs on her, hastening
her end.
Harwich:—The report was cur-
rent here tonight that another

Sunday, sighted the periscope of
asubmarine, It was apparent-
ly the intention of the latter to
attack one of the British -shipas,
and accordingly the commander
of the other destroyer boldly
charged the submarine, The
members of the crew of the deg.
troyer believe that the submarine
was rammed as they state that

surface of the sea:

Paris, Jan. 29:—After having
concentrated large forces between
La Bassee and Festhubert, suys
a Havas agency despatch, from
St, Omar, on Jan. 25 the Ger-
mans attempted to break through
the Allies’ tines in an effort to
capture Bethune. The attaelr
commenced early in the morning,
the infantry being supported by
artillery and armored trains.

Five attempts were made, but
they were all unsuecessful. The
Germans even went as far as the
churchin Giyenchy-les-LaBassee,
Fieree bayonet fights were in-
cident to the battle, and the ear-
nage was great. Vermilles,

well known in the Nome district,

claim near Moroville, half way

‘about 2 miles from Nome, John-

the news has just become known. |.

Johnson drifted under the
frozen lake and found a body of
pay gravel four feet deep, carry-
ing an average of forty cents a
pan, ‘Drifting has been done for
