In comnumd of a squadron of six battle cruisers and four of the swiftest battleships of Britain, in tonnage aggrega- ting 254,000 tons and mounting thirty-two 15-inch, thirty- two 13.5-inch and sixteen 12-inch guns, accompanied by the usual complement of light cruisers and torpedo craft. Sir David Beatty sighted the battle cruiser squadron of von Hipper, five in number, of a tonnage amounting to 131,280 and mounting forty 12-inch guns, also attended by light cruisers and torpedo craft.
Off the
...northwestern coast of Denmark at 3 :48 p. m. the squadrons engaged, as the Germans turned southeast, steer- ing for a junction with their battle fleet. The advantage in force was with tlie Britisli ; but, in the half hour which ensued before they reached the main fleet, the Germans suc- ceeded in inflicting upon their pursuers a heavy loss in the sinking of the Queen Mary and Indefatigable, thus wiping out of existence sixteen of the eighty heavy guns opposed to their forty and in half an hour obliterating two ships aggre- gating a tonnage of 45,750 tons with their complement of 1,790 seamen.
