Lone Torpedo Boat Sinks Turk Warship.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 2, 1912:
Creek Craft Dashes Past Forts Into Salonika Harbor at Night, Fires Missiles, and Escapes.
SEARCHLIGHTS BLAZE IN VAIN
Tiny Boat Fires a Contemptuous Shot at Fort as It Leaves — Ten Perish in the Sunken Vessel.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    ATHENS, Nov. 1.— A Greek torpedo boat commanded by Lieut. Vothis entered Salonika harbor unperceived last night and sank the Turkish battleship Feth-I-Bulend.
    The torpedo boat escaped from the harbor without damage.
