WORK OF WAR AVIATORS.
1 Greek Fliers Under Fire by the Tur
kith War Fleet.
II Secolo of Rome recently printed s
dispatch from Lemnos, in the Aegeni
sea, giving an account of a daring
reconnolssnuee by a Greek h.vdronero
| plane over the Turkish fleet in tlx
Dardanelles.
In the hydroaeroplane were Ml
cbaeils Mutsis and an infantry oflioei
named Muruitlmls. They started fron
Lemnos and soon sighted the Turkist
fleet in the Dardanelles. When tei
miles off the plane, which had beet:
gliding along the still waters, was
turned upward. They sailed over tlx
Nngnra arsenal and dropped foul
boinhs. and they hovered over the fleet
and did likewise.
On their return journey they observ
ed in the ships small pull's of smoke,
and some guns flashed, hut they heard
nothing. From this they gathered
that the warships had opened (ire on
them, but they were not struck.
They again crossed the peninsula oi
Gallipoli, following a zigzag course,
and returning by the same route. Tlx
peninsula, they said, had the appear
ance of an enormous military arsenal.
Puffs of smoke again showed that the
Turks were firing at them
Finally leaving the peninsula be
hind. they decided to re-enter the bay
of Madros. but carbureter trouble
brought the trip to an end. They de
scended to the water and were finally
picked up by a Greek destroyer.
