PACIFIC BATTLE
VAIN CHILIAN ATTEMPT TO SAVE LIVES.
A Chilian gentleman, writing to a friend at Southampton, regarding
the naval action n the Pacific, says:-
“All Chilians
have been very much upset by the result of the recent battle. The
Germans rendered no assistance to the two English ship, Good Hope
and Monmouth, and their crews perished mercilessly: The gave the excuse
of bad weather and adark night. When the Chilian authorities knew
the fact, it was too late; and the ship they sent to cross the spot
found no trace of the boats and their crews.”
