Moreover, a greater speed would have profited us little. Whereas, at a speed of eleven miles, we found it possible to avoid a hostile encounter, we might, by the greater rate of twenty miles an hour, have rushed straight upon the enemy.
However, the wireless messages we caught up, as we came near to a hostile ship, did tell us something, — they revealed to us the nationality of the ship that was sending them.
