Turks Damage Greek Port.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 16, 1913:
Cruiser Medjidieh Makes Sortie, Which Results in Sinking Transport.
    ATHENS, Jan. 15.— The Turkish cruiser Medjidieh performed a daring feat during a thick fog last night. She steamed out of the Dardanelles and passed unperceived through the lines of the Greek destroyers cruising off the straits. At noon to-day she appeared off the island of Syra, one of the Cyclades, and bombarded the powder magazine and coal depots. These were not damaged, but the electric power station was wrecked. The Medjidieh also fired upon the Greek auxiliary cruiser Macedonia, which was undergoing repairs in Syra Harbor. When fifteen shells had been fired, the commander of the Macedonia, after landing his crew for the purpose of maintaining order in the town, and to strengthen the guard over the Turkish prisoners, sank the Macedonia in the harbor, to prevent her destruction by the warship.
    The Medjidieh then sailed in the direction of Smyrna. The Greek fleet has been ordered to intercept her. So far as is known, the other Turkish warships have not left the Dardanelles.
