NORTH SEA FIGHT.
GOOD BRITISH SHOOTING. Received this day, 8.45 a.m. Londno, Tesday. The Undaunted's markmanship was excellent, and pieces of the enemy's eh tips were blown high in the air. Survivors say the crew were informed thay were going to attack Porta mouth. Several Dutch steamers witnessed the fight and a shell carried away part of the rigging of a Dutch trawler. UNDAUNTED'S SMART WORK. "SUNS. THE LOT." The Undaunted's first wireless on Saturday read "Pursuing four German destroyers." The second read "Sunk the lot." The skipper of a Lowestoft trawler relates he saw the destroyers off the Dutch coast. When the British appeared the destroyers opened out, but the Britishers' speed frustrated the move. The Undaunted fired her forward guns, and one destroyer was blown out of the water. Tha rest sank rapidly.
