May 25:

Air War: Three Nieuport 10s are recorded as being in service with No. 1 Squadron RNAS.

Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Ireland: Claus Hansen, commanding U-41, torpedoes the American freighter SS Nebraskan, 4,409 tons, travelling in ballast from Liverpool to the Delaware Breakwater. The damaged ship survives the attack.

Agean Sea: Otto Hersing, in U-21, is now operating against British forces supporting the Gallipoli campagn. On this day he sinks HMS Triumph, 11,985 tons. His score is now 7 ships and 20,926 tons.

Italian Somaliland: At 0300 hours the monitors' convoy runs into a heavy fog bank. By noon the fog has lifted, and Captain Fullerton discovers that the tugs T.A. Jollife and Revenger have disappeared. T.A. Jollife had been steaming independently, and had orders to proceed to Mombassa if separated from the convoy. Revenger, on the other hand, was helping tow HMS Severn. At 0600 hours Revenger had gotten sideways to Severn, slipped her tow line and started looking for Trent. Everyone is on the lookout for the missing tug, and at sunset Trent starts using her searchlights. At 2000 hours two green lights are sighted in the far distance. At 0915 three red lights, taken as a distress signal, are seen in the same quarter. Trent, still towing Mersey, slowly alters course to investigate. At 2200 Trent comes upon Revenger, which has two men injured while slipping the tow line in the fog earlier. The two injured men are taken aboard Trent. The convoy then returns to its original course.

German East Africa: HMS Hyacinth has returned to Zanzibar.
