Dropped Bombs On Ships.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 23, 1913:
Adventures of Greek Flying Men Over the Dardanelles.
    ROME. Feb. 15.—Il Secolo prints a dispatch from Lemnos, in the Aegean Sea, giving an account of a daring reconnaissance by a Greek waterplane over the Turkish fleet in the Dardanelles. In the waterplane were Michaelis Mutsis and an infantry officer named Maraitimis. They started from Lemnos and soon sighted the Turkish fleet in the Dardanelles. When ten miles off the water-plane, which had been gliding along the still waters, was turned upward. They sailed over the Nagara Arsenal and dropped four bombs, and they hovered over the fleet and did likewise. On their return journey they observed in the ships small puffs of smoke and some guns flashed, but they heard nothing. From this they gathered that the warships had opened fire on them, but they were not struck.
    They again crossed the Peninsula of Gallipoli, following a zig-zag course, and returning by the same route. The peninsula, they said, had the appearance of an enormous military arsenal. Small puffs of smoke along the route again showed that the Turks were firing at them.
    Finally leaving the peninsula behind, they decided to re-enter the Bay of Madros, but carbureter trouble brought the trip to an end, they descended to the water, and were finally picked up by a Greek destroyer.
