Deeds of Supreme Heroism Mark English Navy's Coup in
Blocking German U-Boat Harbor
At Zeebrugge on Belgian
Coast
London, April 26. Details of the British naval raid on
Zeebrugge, in the narrative issued by the admiralty, show to
. . ww v . V 1
what lengths the crews or the cruiser vindictive ana me Liver
pool ferry boats, Iris and Daffodil, sacrificed themselves to draw
' the attention of the Germans from the three cruisers assigned
to block the canal.
' BRAVE OFFICERS KILLED,
Concerning the engagement on the
mole, where the Vindictive landed
storming parties, the account says:
TThe Daffodil, after aiding to
berth the Vindictive, should have
proceeded to land its own men, but
wapiain carpenter oruerca it iu re
main as it was with its bows against
the Vindictive's quarter, pressing the
latter ship into the mole. Its casual
ties were one killed and eight
wounded, among the latter its com
mander, Lieutenant Campbell, who
was struck in the right eye by a shell
iplinter.
"The Iris' first attempts to make
" fast to the mole ahead of the Vin
dictive failed, as its eraonels were
"not large enough to span the parapet.
Two officers, Bradford and Hawkins,
climbed ashore and sat astride the
parapet, trying to make the grapnels
, fast, till each was killed and fell down
v between the ship and wall Com
mander Gibbs had both legs shot
iway and died nesct morning.
"Lieutenant Spencer, though
wounded, took command. The Iris
was obliged at last to change its posi
tion and fell in astern of the Vindic
ative. It suffered very heavily from
the fire. A single big shell plunged
through the upper deck and killed
49 marines. Another shell burst in a
' wardroom which was serving as a
"sick bay and killed four officers and
26 men. Its total casualties were eight
officers and 69 men killed; 102 men
. and six officers wounded."
, I Unremitting German Fire.
"The storming and demolishing
parties upon the mole met with no re
sistance from the Germans other than
intense and unremitting fire- The geo
graphy of the great mole with its
railway line and many buildings,
hangars and store sheds was already
well known and the demolition par
ties moved to their appointed work
in perfect order.
"While they worked and destroyed,
the covering party below. the parapet
could see by the light of German
star shells the shapes of the block
ships stealing in out of their own
. smoke and making for" the mouth of
the canal.
"The Thetis came first, running into
a tornado of shells from the great
batteries ashore. The crew, save a
remnant to iteam it in and sink it,
had already been taken off. But the
remnants spared hands enough to
keep its foreguns going. It was hers
to show the road to the Intrepid and
Iphigenia, which followed.
"It cleared a score of armed barges
which dotted the channel from the tip
of the mole, but had the ill fortune to
foul its orooeller upon the net device
which flanks its shore side. The pro
peller gathered in the net and render
ed it practically unmanageable.
"The shore batteries found her and
pounded her unremittingly until she
bumped into the bank, edged off and
found hcrselt in the channel again,
still some hundreds of yards from the
mouth of the canal. While in practi
cally a sinking condition as she lay
there she signalled invaluable direc
tions to the others and her com
mander, Sneyed, accordingly blew
charges and sank her. The motor
launch under the command of Lieu
tenant Littleton raced alongside and
took off her crew. The loss was five
killed and five wounded.
All Guns Blazing.
"The Intrepid, smoking like a
volcano with all her guns blazing, was
followed by her motor launch, which
failed to get alongside in the outside
harbor and she had men enough for
anything. Straight into the harbor she
steered.
"Lieutenant Sturat Bonham Carter,
commanding, placed the nose of his
ship neatly on the mud of the western
bank. He ordered the crew away and
blew up the ship by switches in the
charter room. Four dull bumps was
all that could be heard.
"Lieutenant Billyard Leak, com
manding the Iphigenia, beached her
according to arrangement on the east
ern side, blew her up and saw her
drop nicely across the canal and left
her there with her engines still going
to hold her in position until she
should have settled well on the
bottom."
Marked Bills Hidden
In Mouth of Negro Lad
Pearl Talbert, negro, 2616 M
street. South Side, crammed four $1
bills into the mouth of her sleep
ing boy to prevent the military po
lice from obtaining them as evi
dence when they raided her place
Thursday night After the police
had search 1 the room in vain for
the marked money they awakened
the boy and questioned him. He
answered with difficulty and they
pried open his mouth and extracted
the missing money.
George Clark, 4716 South Twenty-seventh
street, was given the
marked money to buy liquor for
soldiers and he entered the Talbert
place, where military police found
the money.
All are held by federal authorities.

ALLIES DESTROY
BIG GERMAN GUN
SHELLING PARIS
Paris, April 26. One of three Ger
man long-range guns which hare
been bombarding Part's has been de
stroyed, according to Deputy Charles
Leboucq of the department of the
Seine.
The deputy said he had talked with
the general commanding the sector
near Crepy-en-Laonnois, where the
big guns are stationed.
'The emplacement platform on
which the gun slides explains the
regularity -of the direction of the fir
ing which we undergo. At the mo
ment 'of firing 10 heavy guns ,re
fired by a special apparatus to camou
flage the sound of the big gun so its
location cannot be judged from the
sound.
"At the same time thick clouds of
smoke from surrounding heights pro
tect the gun from airplane observa
tion," he said.
