Twenty-one loggers arrived earlier in the evening on the Princess Adelaide saw nothing out of the ordinary, nor did his scouting ships detect anything for many hours. Early in the afternoon, he had given the signal to turn completly about when the light cruiser Galatea from Vancouver to take passage on ' flashed that two hostile cruisers the John. Halibut landings bulked heavy at Seattle yesterday, a total of 320,-000 pounds being brought in. The price dropped from 11c the day previous to 7'8C and Vc. Up to the end of May'accutuing to reports from Seattle last night, the halibut catch for the Pacific Coast had reached a total of 16,-000,000 pounds, leaving 30,000,000 million pounds of the International Fisheries Commission for the season from Areas- No. 2 and 3. Of the 16,000,000 pounds so far taken, 9,-300,000 pounds has been from Area No. 2 and 7,000,000 pounds from had been sighted. These were two torpedo boats of a German scouting group. This was at 2:20 p.m. Beatty's fleet drew in towards the Galatea, and about 2:30 p.m, that ship opened fire. Gradually a steady procession of German ships emerged from the haze on the horizon, behind them lont? smoke clouds betokening Important forces. The manoeuvring of Beatty's subordinate commanders at this initial stage has been for years an object of much criticism by naval strategists, both active and arm-chair. Rear-Admiral Evans-Thomas has been blamed for steaming on a course divergent from that of Beatty for about 10 Area No. 3, Landings for the coast minutes and thus absentine his this May arc reported to have been 5th Battle Squadron from pre-about one million pounds less than j llmlnaries which hid an important in the same month last year. If you wish to swap a classified. bearing on later operations Beatty turned his fleet, steering again southeast, on a course parallel to that of the enemy the "advance guard," commanded by Admiral von Hipper, of von Scheer.'s High Seas Fleet. The British admiral's purpose was to out-steam the enemy and cut him )ff from the home port to which won Hipper was ooviousiy re-1 turning. For nearly an hour, these hostile forces steamed on convergent courses, and the actual battle was opened by the German ship, Luetzow, and answered at 3:45 p.m. by H. M. S. Lion, Beatty's Hagship. In. a few minutes ths British battle-cruisers had selected their targets, and their guns hurtled enormous projectiles over ;he wastes of the North Sea. The Germans' answer was effective. turned his own ships around. The pursuer now became the pursued. Some 60 miles to the northwest of Beatty, Jelllcoe's powerful Grand Fleet had been steaming in his wake. It now became Beat-ty's task to lure the Germans Into a trap exactly similar to that from which he himself, had escaped. A running fight ensued, the whole German navy striving to overtake the weaker British Ileet. At 5:55 p.m. Rear-Admiral Horace Hood, with the 3rd Battle i Cruiser Squadron, rushing down more the situation chan ged. The Germans now turned about, again becoming the pursued. Details of the twilight battle, on the North Sea will always bej difficult to unscramble, for fog-banks, thickened by smoke-screens began to operate as a factor in 'the engagement. The Invincible, flagship of Rear-Admiral Hood, blew up; the Warrior was sunk. other British light cruisers disap peared. The punishment Inflicted on the Germans was enormous; but complete fact's have never been permitted to emerge in that respect. When night closed over the North Sea, the roar of battle echoed over Its wastes, the dark ness punctuated by flashes and Within three-quarters of an hour flames whU:n SDoke 0. tne Ereat he Lion had been hit several est naval battle m hIstory sini ta times and the Indefatigable sunk. pr0gress. Some minutes later the Queen Mary capsized In flames. What r damage had been Inflicted on the enemy could not be accurately ascertained; but unquestionably the Germans, although Inferior in armament and tonnage, were holding their own. "Chatfield," said the Indomitable Beatty to his flag-captain "there's something wrong with our ships today. Turn two points to port." That was to say, nearer the enemy. Germans Punished Obviously severe punishment had also been inflicted on the Germans, for von Hipper began to draw away. The battle continued, both fleets steaming south-east, fierce destroyer attacks being launched by both sides. At 4.33 p.m. H. M. S. Southampton sighted on the southern horizon the head of a long line of German battleships- -von Scheer's High Seas Fleet towards which von Hipper had been steadily drawing Beatty.

However, this concession, not ordinarily permitted under shipping regulations, does not help much with the southern railway lines not handling the product. The result is that the large proportion of the fish landed at Prince Rupert is being forced into cold storage.
