I made another list, which I headed 'Guessed', but I was just as sure of the one as the other. Place not harbour but open coast. Boat small trawler, yacht, or launch. Place somewhere on East Coast between Cromer and Dover.
On a similar sweep further south, the Harwich light cruiser and destroyer force under Commodore Tyrwhitt sank by gunfire the mine layer Königin Luise, which a trawler had reported "throwing things overboard"; but the next morning, August 6, the cruiser Amphion, returning near the same position, was destroyed by two mines laid by her victim of the day before.
The light was very bad and it was very difficult to trace the enemy, but the trawler continued the search, and about midnight she observed a small light close to the water. She steamed within a few yards of it and hailed, thinking it was a small boat. There was a considerable amount of wreckage about, which was afterward proved to be the remains of a patrol vessel sunk by the submarine.
The reply was not encouraging. "I see the fishing fleet is at anchor. Weather too calm?" "Couldn't say thaat." "Going out tonight?" "Med-do." "And how do you get rid of your fish?" "Us sells 'er." "I mean do you send it up by road?" "Naw!" "Steam trawler comes in to collect it?" "Doan't come in not very often it doan't."
The yacht was beating north-east, close-hauled, into a stiff breeze from eastwards. No land was in sight only a few trawler sails and a squat, ugly tramp steamer flinging a pennant of black smoke to westwards. As the day wore on the wind rose steadily, and in the afternoon the watch turned out to reef sails. Matheson was an excellent sailor, and this tussle with the elements exhilarated him.
"Why, how can that be?" asked Thorndyke. "They're dead, sir! All three of them!" "Dead!" we all exclaimed. "Yes. They made a burst for the yacht when they left the court, and they got on board and put out to sea at once, hoping, no doubt, to get clear as the light was just failing. But they were in such a hurry that they did not see a steam trawler that was entering, and was hidden by the pier.

She dared not hope for so much the wish of her heart just an inch or so behind the desire for Gard's recovery. "The cutter this morning brought over one we had feared was lost " "Not not Bernel?" "Yes, my child, Bernel, by God's good mercy! He was picked up by a Granville trawler, and lay there ill for some days, and could only get back by Jersey and Guernsey.
I don't know when I have felt more relief than I did at seeing his weird headgear appear at the surface. The danger from the "bends" might not be entirely over yet, but at least it was Craig himself, safe, at last. As he came over the side of the trawler I ran to him. It was like trying to greet a giant in that outlandish suit which was so clumsy out of the water.
Knowing the scarcity of ammunition in the fleet they placed this on board the Roebuck, the fastest trawler in the harbour, and she started at once in pursuit of the fleet. The misfortune to the Capitana was not the only one that befell the Spaniards. While Oquendo was absent from his galleon a quarrel arose among the officers, who were furious at the ill result of the day's fighting.
