GERMAN PATROL VESSEL TORPEDOED OFF COAST OF HOLLAND. TWO OTHERS POSSIBLY HIT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.13 a.m.) RUGBY. September 14. A naval skirmish off Holland is described in an Admiralty communique: “While on patrol off the coast of Holland, near Ijmuiden, last night, coastal forces encountered and engaged a group of enemy patrol vessels. His Majesty’s ships thrust home their attack to close range, in face of rapid fire, and torpedoed one of the patrol ships. Two other hits were possibly scored, but in the darkness it was impossible to observe the full results. His Majesty’s ships all returned safely. One rating was slightly wounded.” i
