That sovereign message to his heroic soldiers--such as his ancestor Henry
V. might have addressed to his 10,000 long-enduring conquerors on the
night of Agincourt--was nobly supplemented by this passage from the
following day's Speech from the Throne: "My Navy and Army continue,
throughout the area of conflict, to maintain in full measure their
glorious traditions. We watch and follow their steadfastness and valour
with thankfulness and pride, and there is, throughout my Empire, a fixed
determination to secure, at whatever sacrifice, the triumph of our arms
and the vindication of our cause."

The Admiralty stated on Nov. 11, "This search resulted on Oct. 30 in the
'Königsberg' being discovered by H.M.S. 'Chatham' (Captain Sidney R.
Drury-Lowe, R.N.) hiding in shoal water about six miles up the Rufigi
Ritter.... (German East Africa) ... She is now imprisoned, and unable to
do any further harm."--[Photo. by Elliott and Fry.]

Australian Navy into the war, and the signal service rendered to the
Allied cause and to peaceful commerce by the destruction of the 'Emden.'"
