A LUCKY DAY
' TWO GERMAN SUBMARINES ACCOUNTED FOR. A Wellington resident has received a letter from an officer on duty in the North Sea, relating an incident which meant the disappearance from tie seas of two German submarines: —"Our navy men mention that they fell in with- a' 'neutral' trawler full of oil, the crew of which confessed that they were oilfeeding the German submarines. They were replaced by a British crew with guns, and off thoy went to the rendezvous. There two German submarines turned up, one after the other, and botlf were sunk. A day or two later the German papers expressed soino anxiety over the non-return of two of their submarines."
Photographs have been received in Wellington of the' last of tho JBlueher, as she sank in tho North Sea. These are even later than tlie wonderful photograph which was reproduced in the English papers showing the German warship on her beam : ends. One of the latest photographs, taken from one of the -British vessels, just shows the black outline of the keel, and a still later snap shows a line of heads —the last of the crew as thoy stood on the submerged keel of their -battered vessel. ■
