"we do not know what will hall-

dria said
"We only know t hat no French

The French communique asserted
that the six-hour ultimatum Mint
ered by the British for the Frenen
to surrender or scuttle the ships did
not give the French fleet time to
weigh anchor before the British
opened fire
Apparently many of the Frenci
ships had no steam up when the ul-
timatum Was received
Vice Admiral Gensoul replied to
the British ultimatum that there
could be no question of the French
fleet joining the British or being
scuttled and that he would mect
