The r elisor. eli-sor. hip having been lifted tonight, it is now possible to give details of the naval enga:rjjn''ut oft Durazzo, Albania, on December 29, in which the Austrian destroyers de-stroyers TricJfiv and Lika were sunk. I'or several days an Austrian aeroplane had been over Durnzzo making observations observa-tions and occasionally dropping bombs. At 7 a. in. of the -9t'n an Austrian fuadruu composed of five destroyers and the cruiser Helgoland entered the harbor at full speed. As the AuBtrinn warships approached they opened a heavy fire on a Greek steamship which had put in for repairs to her engine. No warning was given nf the attack and the assertion is made that the sailors on board were fired on, even after they left the vessel and were attempting to reach shore. The Austrians also bombarded and sank several Italian sailing boats and then attacked the encampment of Italian troops. The fire was directed poorly, however, and there were no casualties. An attempt was made by the Austrians Aus-trians to land a detachment of men vwt.h incendiary bombs to set fire to the eustonib warehouse, but an Italian battery bat-tery prevented the lauding. The Italian squadron arrived and opened fire on the Austrian warships. The Lika, the flagship of the flotilla, was struck by a torpedo and sank after her magazine had blown up. Most of the crew of about 100, including Commander Com-mander Vincer, were drowned. The Triglav was struck and then tiiken in tow by two of the othor destroyers. de-stroyers. They were compelled to aban- ; don her outside the harbor, however, and j she was sunk by the pursuing Italian i Miuadron. ; i |
