GERMAN SUBMARINES
OPFJRiATIONS AT THE DARDANELLES. (Received Last Night, 11.50 o'clock.) LONDON, Nov. 1. Air Ashmead Bartlott, describing the operations of the German submarines at the Dardanelles, said one of the first fruits was the Albion, which they ran ashore. The enemy directed a heavy gunfire of shrapnel which was bursting all round. The Ganopus went to tho rescue and tinally towed her off. The Albion vis hit two hundred times by shrapnel and common shell. Tho "men on the Swiftsuro arranged sweepstakes on :olu? sighting of pori.voooos. Tho fourteen pounders wero ready day and night to fire at a moment's notice. One day a. submarine appeared 300 yards off the portbow of the Swiftsuro. The gunners fired and she disappeared. It was thought the submarine was 'trying to force an entrance to the Dardanelles, it came up blindly among the ships. When an alarm was given the gcstroyers wero immediately on the alert, and as if by magic every battleship and transport weighed anchor and went at full speed away."
