accompanied by five American battleships and three
French cruisers, steamed out at 3 o'clock on the morning of November
21st, from its Scottish base to accept the surrender. The vessels moved
in two long columns.

The German fleet which surrendered consisted of nine battleships, five
cruisers, seven light cruisers and fifty destroyers, Seventy-one vessels
in all. There remained to be surrendered two battleships, which were
under repair, and fifty modern torpedo-boat destroyers.

One German destroyer while on its way across the North Sea with the
other ships of the German High Seas fleet to surrender struck a mine. It
was so badly damaged that it sank.

Describing the surrender of the German warships to Sir David Beatty, the
Commander-in-Chief of the grand fleet, correspondents said that after
all the German ships had been taken over, the British admiral went
through the line on the Queen Elizabeth, every Allied vessel being
manned and greeting the admiral and the flagship with loud and ringing
cheers.

jeered at the struggles of the helpless crew.

THE EYE OF THE SUBMARINE
Diagram of a periscope, showing how, when its tip is lifted out of
water, a picture of the sea's surface is reflected downward from a
prism, through lenses, and then a lower prism, hence to the officer's
eye. It turns in any direction.

The British grand fleet put to sea in two single lines six miles apart,
and so formed as to enable the surrendering fleet to come up the center.
The leading ship of the German line was sighted between 9 and 10 o'clock
in the morning. It was the Seydlitz, flying the German naval ensign.
