ANOTHER ATTACK ON DOVER ATTEMPTED.
AIRCRAFT AND SUBMARINES APPROACH THE HARBOUR
ENEMY'S PRESENCE REVEALED BY SEARCHLIGHTS.
DRIVEN OFF BY GUNS OF THE FORTS.
London, January 13. Two submarines endeavoured to enter Dover Harbour, but the batteries repulsed them. It is reported that both were sunk.
The attack was made in darkness. The searchlights round the harbour revealed the submarines, and the big guns on the heights behind the castle twice fired at an interval of ten minutes. Directly after searchlights from hostile aircraft swept the skies, but they disappeared iu an hour. Later information indicates that the guns did not succeed in sinking the submarines.
Many rumours are current that airships have been sighted in the Channel.
