MORE OF THE GOEBEN.
WAR INCIDENTS RECALLED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 17, 12.45 a.m. < London, Jan. 16. Admiral Milne has begun the publication in the Sunday Express of the narrative of the German warship Goeben’s escape. He states that Italy’s neutrality prevented British ships, at the outset, entering the Straits of Messina, but a watcfi was set to the northwards of the mouth. Instructions to traverse the Strait in pursuit of the Goeben arrived too late, for Admiral Milne was then running south along the west coast of Sicily. The narrative describes a- thrilling exchange of fire with the Goeben and the Breslau by Captain Howard Kelly, on board the Gloucester, until he was recalled, owing to a shortage of coal and to avoid capture.
