A German naval lieutenant, who deserted from Kiel and has arrived in Holland, says that three weeks ago the crews of the mine-sweeping trawlers whicTT were badly handled in the fight with the British, and who returned to Hamburg and were ordered to resume duty within an hour, mutinied and threw an officer in the water and allowed him to drown. An armed motor launch machine-gunned the mutineers, killing 41 and wounding 73. The remainder were courtmartialled and heavily sentenced.
