The other | torpedo boat which went to the as- slstance of her consort also gave up the fight and soon afterwards the mere seriously damaged vessel ap- parently sank. It is reported that in addition to the German losses be- | tween the 16th and 22nd already an- | nounced in official communications another German auxiliary cruiser was sunk.” The Slava is a vessel of 13,516 tons which was laid down in 1902.
