ON THE SEA.
THE EYES OF THE WORLD. THE FLEET ACTIVE. London, Feb. 18. A German wireless message, quoting tlic Danish Politiken, states that a Norwegian ship met during the week a large English fleet within the zone between the 'Dogger Bank and the Norwegian coast, and consisting chiefly of squadrons of light cruisers. The Norwegians also met English cruisers in the Atlantic, which w«re, doubtless, chasing the Mo ewe.
THE ARABIS.
GERMANY'S AMUSING ADMISSION. London, Feb. 10. A German wireless message now admits that the Arabia was not a cruiser, but a special vessel constructed for laying mines and air defence services. She had a crew of 78 and a speed of IS knots. Tha sudden German conversion is amusing, as a few hours earlier a wireless message had been claiming that a second cruiser had been torpedoed, the claim being based on the fact that the British Admiralty had admitted that a mine-sweeper had been sunk. The wireless message states tliat the surgeon and three of the crew of the Arabis died after their rescue, from the effects pf. their long immersion.
