The Literary digest history of the world war, compiled from original and contemporary sources: American, British, French, German, and others . have been cut off from Jellicoes Grand Fleet.In order to avoid that disaster and at the same time pre-pare the way so that Jellicoe might envelop his adversary, Beatty immediately turned round 16 points so as to bringhis ships parallel to the German battle-cruisers and facingin the same direction.
