The _Warrior_, which had been taken in tow by the sea-plane carrier _Engadine_, was in Lat. 57.18 N., Long. 3.54 E. at 8 A.M. on the 1st June, but the crew was taken off by the _Engadine_ and the ship abandoned later in the day, as the weather had become bad and it was evident the ship could not remain afloat. The work of rescue was very smartly carried out, the _Engadine_ being skilfully placed alongside the _Warrior_ in a considerable sea way by her Captain, Lieutenant-Commander C. G. Robinson, and the large number of wounded transferred to her. The reports as to the condition of the _Warrior_ were not clear, and it was feared that she might remain afloat, and later fall into the hands of the enemy. Therefore I detached the 2nd Cruiser Squadron, and subsequently the 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron, to search for her. The search continued until the evening of June 23rd, no trace of the ship being found. It became clear from a report received subsequently from the Captain of the _Warrior_ that her condition was such that she must have sunk shortly after having been abandoned. During the search for the _Warrior_, one of the cruisers of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron sighted a submarine on the surface at dusk, opened fire, and tried to ram. It was reported quite definitely that the submarine had been sunk. Later evidence showed, however, that the submarine was one of our own vessels of this class, that she had a very narrow escape, but had dived in time to escape injury. This was one instance, amongst others, of our own submarines being mistaken for an enemy, attacked by our own ships, and considered to be sunk. The difficulty of ascertaining definitely the result of an engagement with a submarine was thereby exemplified, and was one of the weighty reasons which led the Admiralty during the War to refrain from publishing any figures giving the results of engagements with submarines. Some anxiety had been felt as to the safety of the destroyer _Broke_, and the 2nd Cruiser Squadron was directed to search for that vessel also, assisted by two light cruisers. She, however, arrived safely in the Tyne, having been delayed by bad weather. Other disabled or partially disabled destroyers requiring assistance to reach port were the _Acasta_, towed by the _Nonsuch_, and the _Onslow_, towed by the _Defender_. The Fleet arrived at its bases on June 2nd, fuelled, and was reported ready for sea at four hours’ notice at 9.45 P.M. on that date. _Note._--In the diagrams embodied in this chapter there are some slight departures from those which accompanied my original despatch to the Admiralty.
