London, Aug. 29.
British cruisers and "destroyers, some of them showing signs of the battle in which they were engaged off Heligoland, have arrived at Harwich, Chatham and Sheerness, They' had British and German wounded on board. The Germans were picked up at sea after their ships went down.
A number of men died before the men-of-war reached port and were buried at soa; others died on the way to hospital, and their bodies were taken to the naval mortuary, Most of the wounded are suffering from head injuries caused by shell fire, but others had arms and legs shattered. White-clad bearers oar-ried most of the wounded on stretchers to the hospital, but some of them were accommodated on yachts which had been lent for Red Cross service.
No one was allowed to board the damaged vessels, but from the shore it could be seen that some of them bore small holes. One destroyer had no less than fourteen such holes, which had been plugged up with cloth.
