ON THE SEA.
A FITTING END. FOE THE GERMAN FLEET. Received Dee. 4, 8.35 p.m. London, Dec. 2. Admiral Beatty, in a speech, said the crew of the Lion, on the eve of escorting the Germans to Scap Flow, said it was a pitiable and horrible sight to see the great ships following- the British light cruisers to inttrnment. The sides of all on the Lion, which had been well hammered in the past, must have ached, as I ached, and you ached, to give them another taste of what we intended for them, but their humiliating ond was a proper end for an enemy who proved himself lacking in chivalry at sea. The', enemy's strategy, tactics and behaviour are beneath contempt. This end was worthy of a nation which had waged war in such a fashion.—Aiw. and N.Z. Cable Assoc. and Reuter. !
