HOW POLA WAS ENTERED
FINE ITALIAN EXPLOIT. LONDON, May 19. The Milan correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" states that a motor boat carrying Lieutenant Pellegrini and three others entered Pola Harbour stealthily at night. The light draugltt of the boat enabled the boat to pass over the submarine mines, but steel nets and many surface mines endangered the channel. The boat rapidly approached the Auatrial Dreadnought and fired two torpedoes. Seaplanes saw both bitting their mark. No news has been received of Lieutenant Pellegrini or his companions, but there is little doubt of their fate.—(A. and N.Z. Cubic.)
