"Heil Churchill" Signal Upsets German Battery
British Official Wireless.
Rugby, Aug. 24. "Heil Churchill!" was flashed in Morse from a small ship which a German battery had challenged off the French coast. So astounded were thc Germans who had signalled the ship that the British crew manning the coastal craft were able to slip merrily away, dodging searchlight beams that sought for it through the faint moonlight that had given the Germans their first glimpse of the audacious visitors. The vessei was one of the Fifth Motor Launch Flotilla, which has earned the nickname "Fighting Fifth" through its thrust and audacity.
