Delaved by the fog, the cruiser R gensburg, which was to have been at a prearranged rendezvous at 9 o’clock, was four hours late in brir ing a Ger- man pilot to navigate the Hercules through the minefield channels, but there was no untoward consequence of pushing on chart almost to within sight of the cliffs of Heligoland. No time was gained, however, for by nightfall the fog had become so dense that the Hercules had to anchor not far from the Outer Jade Lightship. The pilot party, which was made up of a commander of the German navy, | a warrant officer and a merchant pilot, appeared a good deal divided against itself, but between them they man- aged to bring her to anchorage a mile or 5o off Wilhelmshaven dockyard just after middav. Several merchantmen passed on their way and dipped their flags as they passed. A return dip from the Ifercules and destroyers completed what was probably the first exchange of that since August, 1914 Captain von Muller of the Emden. A picket-boal, flying the imperial naval ensign of Germany, came along- side a half-hour after the Hercule had anchored, and the short, heavy- set officer who was first up the gang- way turned out to be Rear-Admiral Goette, who headed the German com- mission which met that of the Allies at both Wilhelmshaven and Kiel. Ad- miral Goette appears to have been the senior German naval officer remain- ing at his duties, von Scheer and von Hipper having disappeared into {he same obscurity which hides Luden- dorff and the other ex-leaders, who hav sought safety in flight or *re- tirement.” A notable member of the German commission was Captain von Muller, of the first Emden, whom the Germans doubtless appointed on the strength of the t utes paid in the ! British press to his “sportsmanship’ | at the time his ship was en the Svdney. TUnfortunately iden- | tity of Captain von Muller was not | definitely known {o the allied com- mission until after the final confer- | ence was over at Kiel There were a number the armistice which by courtesy be by the of terms Admiral o Gostte it | pro; ! by | dreds or his advisers, when seated at long Browning's cabin absolutely incapa of one by one these were ble purpose of the allied com mission brought home to them {I utter futility of tactics even remotel | bordering bluft. expeditiously did move then that the fi sub-commission for the inspectior warships landed and went to work in | the dockyards that afternoon filth and lack of d were later found to bhe character of every German warship remaining were very much in evidence first one visited. Here some sailors, slouching indolently about the | decks (in direct contravention to the terms of the armistice, which held that all ships and air stations inspect- ed should be cleared of men), threat- ened to impede materially the work of search. Drastic British Actiol The drastic action taken by o cer in charge of the party on ithis oc | casion not only put an end to the dif- ficulty on this particular ship, but also | effectually prevented its recurrence on any otker.

North Sea Air Stations. Wars and merchant ship inspec- tions were over at Wilhelmshaven in a couple of days, but the visitsto air stations on the North sea side took some time longer. Borkum, Heligo- land and Sylt were reached by de strover of the others land Discipline and order were found | much better in both airship and se plane stations than in the warships, and in most of tuese it was very evi. dent that every endeavor had been made to live up to the letter of the ice agreement. The Norderney ion—on island made famous in “The Riddle of the Sands,’ was reported as comparing most favarably with any other of the kind in France or gland, while tha | Nordholz Zeppelin station is, ond comparison, the finest in the world. It was from here that practi cally all of the England-bound raiders | started, and not the least iteresting | sight observed there by the sub-com- mission was the famous “L 14, with 24 vists to Bngland to its credit. 0| was practically the only surviver ot | the first raiders, all of the rest hav- | ing perished in one way or another “L 14" was being used as a school ship during the last months of the | war, and the lalest airships. such as the mighty “L 71, outc it com- pletely for power, speed, size anc bility. | Another interesting visit of one of | ub-commissions was the wreck of | Zeppelin she ondern.

The passage by the Hercules of the Kiel canal was an occasion as memor- able as historic. British light cruis: ers had made the passage in 1914, just before the war, but the Hercules was the first Rritish battleship to ruffle its brown-black waters, just as wero | the Verdun and Viceroy the first de- stroyers. The people along the canal | banks were or the most part indif- | ferently curious, but hand-waving and smiles from women and children wer no means infrequent. An ingrati- | ating titnde v evident at all point nd the least sign of friendli- ness from one of the ships would un- doubtedly have evoked not inconsider- able acclaim from the crowds an the banks.
