Title: London Gazette 23rd October 1914 - Submarine operations report by Admiral Keyes

Description: On the 13th September, "E.9" (Lieutenant-Commander Max K. Horton), torpedoed and sank the German Light Cruiser "Hela" six miles South of Heligoland. A number of Destroyers were evidently called to the scene after "E.9" had delivered her attack, and these hunted her for several hours. On the 14th September, in accordance with his orders, Lieutenant-Commander Horton examned the outer anchorages of Heligoland, a service attended by considerable risk. On the 6th October, "E.9" (Lieutenant-Commander Max K. Horton), when patrolling off the Ems, torpedoed and sank the enemy's destroyer "S.126".
