Naval Battle Is Resumed.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 18, 1912:
Turkish Reports Say the Greek Vessels Were Forced to Retire.
    SEDIL-BAHR, Dardanelles, Dec. 17.— Another naval battle was begun between the Turkish and Greek fleets this morning outside the entrance to the Dardanelles. The firing was heavy.
    According to an eye witness, who verifies the official report of the engagement, the smaller Greek vessels after a long-range exchange of shots retired behind some islands, leaving the pride of the Greek navy, the cruiser Georgio Averoff, to bear the brunt of the fighting. The cruiser seemed to be using only her small calibre guns and showed signs of having been struck by three or four shells. Finally she slowly retired from the combat.
    The Turkish vessels then returned to their anchorage with flags flying and bands playing amid the enthusiastic applause of the crowds lining the shore.
