The Disabled Laurel An Easy Target For The Enemy, Is Rescued By British Cruisers.
For some time the two British destroyers, Laurel and Liberty, were exposed to an attack of overwhelming strength. Commander Frank Rose was struck in the left leg by a shell splinter early in the action, but he refused to leave his dangerous post. Later, however, he was struck in the other leg, and, as he was unable to stand, handed over the command to Lieutenant Charles Peploe. Suddenly a German shell enveloped the Laurel in a cloud of black smoke, and before it cleared away, British cruisers came to her assistance. Commander Rose was awarded the D.S.O., Lieutenant Peploe the D.S.C., and Engineer Lieutenant-Commander E. H. T. Meeson the D.S.O., besides being promoted to Commander. Many of the crew were awarded the D.S.M. In the Liberty Lieutenant H. E. Horan and Gunner H. Morgan was awarded the D.S.C., while Engineer Lieutenant-Commander F. A. Butler was granted accelerated promotion.

British Torpedo Boat Destroyers In Pursuit Of The German Torpedo Boats A2 and A6.
With the A6 badly damaged and down by the stern, the Germans thought it wise to make for home. The Barbados had, however, got into touch by wireless with the destroyer Leonidas, who in turn summoned three of her sister craft. The two German torpedo boats soon saw four columns of smoke on the horizon, and they knew they were being pursued. Within an hour both vessels had met their fate, and were lying at the bottom of the sea. Forty-four of the total number of fifty-nine officers and men on board the Germans were picked up from the sea It then came to light that when the Columbia sank, one of her officers and two of her men were picked up and afterwards locked up by the Germans. Though the British saved forty-four of the Germans, the latter, utterly indifferent to the fate of the British sailors, left them to drown like rats in a trap.

British Destroyers, accompanied by the light cruiser Amphion, under the command of Captain C. H. Fox chasing the German mine laying ship Konigin Luise.
Within a few hours of the outbreak of war a division of British destroyers, accompanied by the light cruiser Amphion, under the command of Captain C. H. Fox, slipped out from Harwich to begin searchlight the lower end of the North Sea. On falling in with a trawler they were told by the skipper that a suspicious looking vessel had been seen throwing things overboard. Steaming on at full speed, the four leading destroyers very soon sighted what appeared to be a Great Eastern Railway steamer making towards the Dutch coast. As they rushed forward, the steamer began to put on speed, and she was soon running for all she was worth. A warning shot was fired, summoning her to stop. But as she failed to do so, the 31-pounders of the destroyers opened fire.
