Some of the Details.
Isle Of Chios, April IL There
was great excitement in the Aegean
Sea to-day when Turkish destroyer
passed round the island hotly pur-
sued by warships of the allies Be-
fore dusk faint explosions were
heard south of the island and news
was telephoned to the capital Of tho
island that a Turkish destroyer had
been blown up.
The weather around the gulf was
exceedingly rough and during the
storm Turkish destroyer put to sea
and eluded the vigilance OF the al
lies ships, presumably in compl-
ance with a special order from Con-
stantinople.
1t became evident it was impossi-
bel to escape detection and the Turk
ish destroyer tried to torpedo
transport in the Aegean Sea. The
torpedoes missed and the transport
proceeded on her voyage.
The destroyer then tried to go
among the small islands. Their
knowledge of the depth of the chan
nels aided this course, but when
passing the picturesque capital of
Chios, the destroyer realized the
game was up and having rounded
the south Of the island, her captain
beached his ship on the rocky shore
near the village of Kallamuti.
twenty-five Turks and five Ger
man officers, including the captain.
were captured.
