Richmond Sailor Witnesses Surrender of German Grand Fleet to Allies

P. B. Fisher of Richmond, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Fisher, 71 State street, was among the Yankee sailors who witnessed the surrender of the German fleet off the English coast on Nov. 21. Fisher is stationed on the U. S. 9. Wye tiling. The Wyoming, with the New York, the Arkansas, the Florida and Texas, composed the squadron that represented the United States navy at the German fleet surrender. In a letter to his parents Fisher says: "I've good news for you. The censorship has stopped and I can write you a little more. I'll try to tell you a little of what I've been doing this past year. We anchored at Scapa Flow, Dec. 7, 1917, among the bleak dreary Orkney Islands. Believe mo that place is Hell, if there ever was one. We were there all winter as that was the English naval base, and closer to Heligoland In case the Germans decided to come out whiih they didn't do. The English sent the Yankee squadron out several times to cruise up and down past .Heligoland, Scargarack and Catlahat, the German fleet and submarine bases, to try and coax the Germans out. Say we did evehythlng except drag limberger cheese up and down in front of those places. "The Joke is that it would have taken the English about 34 hours to have helped us, and so you can imagine what would have happened to those five ships of ours if they had decided to got war heavy. "About once a week last winter we convoyed supply ships and mine layers across the North Sea. We were within one degree of the Arctic Circle, and the North Sea is no .warm place. We sure did run into some awful storms. "Well, the big event happened day before yesterday. Nov. 21. We gof under way at 3:30 o'clock in the morning and went out to bring in the German flpet. They surrendered the 72

fleet has breathed a quickened, electrified air. "It is generally known that by the terms of the armistice the German ships were to be unarmed, and manned only by navigating crews, but the navy does not believe in taking chances. Treachery was not expected, but all was ready to blow the German ship out of the water should any trick be attempted. "Last night the grand fleet lay at its moorings in the Firth of Forth. Above the bridge were battleships, destroyers, and submarines, and conspicuous among these was the French armored cruiser Admiral Abue, flying the flag of Admiral Grasset, which with two destroyers, represented the French navy in the last act of the great dra

of her work that she was given stellar '

honors by her managers, Klaw and Erlangcr and George C. Tyler. MURRETTE. J. Warren Kerrigan's newest picture, Three X Gordon will be seen for the first time at the Murrette theater today and tomorrow and will introduce Kerrigan in the role of a young New Yorker, a spendthrift who is suddenly cut oft' from the parental pocket-book and is forced to earn his own living, which he proceeds to do In an altogether unusual and wholly successful manner. It is in the telling of this unique experience of a young fellow of Kerrigan's type that the author, Kenneth Clarke, provides some rare comedy and many out of the ordinary dramatic scenes.
