DKIEN FIND GAP IN HOLE; OSTENDJCLOSED Berlin Official Announcement Says Raid Was Frustrated and Destroyers Sunk (By Aoclted Press.) LONDON. April 25. Air observation snowi a clear break of twenty yard la width In the Zeeburgge mole at the Inner end and that a sunken object blocks the greater part of the channel In the harbor of Ostend according to an official bulletin Issued by too admiralty on the thrilling raid by tna British. Tbli. despite the Berlin official announcement last night, which says the raid was "frustrated- and that three British destroyers were sunk In addition to the five cruisers. Save One Sub Crew. According to a Dover dispatch, the crew of one of the British submarines which was used to destroy the German Piers at Zeebrugge were rescued, according to a member of the crew, by an scortlng destroyer. Tha tailor said that after the deatroyer slipped the submarine at the entrance to the harbor the underwater boat made straight for the target. A tima fuse was set and the crew abandoned the craft a few moments
later The submarine siruc im -Jeetiva and blew up. The sailor said the pier was blown to pieces. Cleaned Up Harbor. "When the landing party was put ashore." seaman landed at Dover said, "vi captured the German guns on the breakwater and turned them asnund. firing -thera on the German fortified positions. As far as we could see. there was not a place of any military Importance left we destroyed a lot. . . We had to leave many of our landing parties behind, but they were taken off by motor boats. One of our destroyers received a salvo of shells in her engine room and had to be beached. It was blown up after the survlv. ors had been rescued. "Motor boats destroyed every float, ing thing in sight, Including two German destroyers and some submarines. Thoea of the landing party who remained behind to continue the work of smashing German guns knew they would either lose their , lives or be taken prisoner. They were volunteers and a brave lot of fellows." Marine Tells Story. A young marine who took part In the fighting on the mole at Zeeburgge describes bis experiences to a Central News correspondent at a Kentish port as follows: "Wo certainly had a hot time. 1 shall never forget It. It was all pitch dark until we got right Into the harbor and then the place suddenly became alight with star shells, and the fun started. "Looming big ahead of us was a German destroyer, evidently getting under way. We put on full speed ahead and rammed her amidships, cutting her In half. As she sank we teamed alongside 'the mole quickly, put out gangways, and rushed on to the mole. By that time It was raining bard. i Fella Giant German. "The first thing my party encountered was t giant German who came out of the semi-darkness and lunged at our nearest man. Before he could get In hta blow our captain knocked hiM am thi htmA wth M truncheon
mmtA k. o.at. iIavh AmtkA I
"Next wo saw another German de. stroyer, tied up on the other side or the mole. This we desrtoyed. We knocked on the bead all who attempted to oppose our progress. Then cime an order to charge the mole. We rushed that, bayoneting or shooting all we came across." The marine said that when the order camo to return to the ship they retraced their steps along the mole, which was Uttered with the dead and dying, and re-embarked safely. Used Famous Ferries. The Daffodil and the Iris, which aided the Vindictive in landing the storming parties on the Zeebrugge mole, are steel twin screw cutters of 468 tons, whieh will be remembered by thousands of Americans as munio Ipal ferry boats on the Mersey. They are the largest and the most modem steamers of this class In the United Kingdom, having a carrying capacity of mora than 1,700 passengers. They belonged to the fleet of ferry boats which carry 23.000,000 passengers annually between Liverpool and New Brighton. Admiral Lord Beresford. In an Interview on the raid on German submarine bases, while eulogizing the cebrugs achievement as a splendid thing and quite worth attempting, h'm annlnt disappointment if the results do not reach the most sanliuute expectations. Ha says that the blocking of a harbor is a most difficult undertaking and it never can be certain that the obstacles have been placed Just right. Moreover. Lord Beresford says, there Is always the possibility of dredging a channel around the obstacles or finding a passage between them. Smoke Screen Genius. gome of the newspapers say that the officer referred to by Admiral 8ir Erie Geddes, the first lord of the admiralty, as having developed the fog and smoke screen for the British raiders on the Belgian coast submarine bases and as having been killed in the attack was Acting Wing Commander Frank A. Brock. He was the son of a widely known fireworks maker. Young Brock entered the naval air service in January, 1916. as a flight lieutenant became a flight commander In 116, and received the Order of the British Empire this year. BERLIN RAID VERSION.
