At 3.30 o'clock Vice -Admiral Beatty Increased the speed to 25 knots and formed the line of battle.

Action Lasted Two Hours The action between the battle fleets lasted intermittently from 5 17 to a 20 o'clock at ranges between 9.000 and 12,000 yards. The Germans constantly turned away and opened the range un der cover of destroyer attacks and ' smoke screens, as the effect of the British flre was felt. Alterations of the course In an endeavor to close up, brought the British battle fleet be tiniest the Germans and their bases. Vice -Admiral Jellleoe rays: "Dur- ing the somewhat brief periods that the ships of the high sea fleet were visible throughout the mist, a heavy and effective flre kept up by the bat- tleships and battle -cruisers of the Grand Fleet caused me much satis- faction. The enemy vessels were seen to be constantly hit. some being observed to haul out of the line. At least one sunk The enemy's retun, fire at this period was not effective and the damage caused to our ships was insignificant." Torpedoes Failed Sir John Jellicoe rep .rte that, as anticipated, the Germane appeared t� have relied much upon torpedo at- tacks, which were favored by low vtalbility and by the fact that the British were in the posa.on of a following or chasing fleet. Of the large number of torpedoes apparently fired, only one took effect, and this was upon Inc Marlborough. which was able to continue In action.
