Turkish Warships Run Out.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 5, 1913:
They Go Back to Forts, However, When Greek Fleet Appears.
    ATHENS, Jan. 4.— An official communication issued by the Ministry of Marine describes an engagement between Greek and Turkish warships off the Dardanelles this morning. It says:
    "Greek destroyers cruising off the Straits announced at 7:30 o'clock this morning that two Turkish cruisers, followed by six destroyers, had been sighted at the entrance of the Dardanelles. The whole Greek squadron immediately weighed anchor, and steamed to meet the enemy.
    "At 10:25 A.M. the Turkish cruiser Medjidiyeh detached itself from the other vessels, which remained under the shelter of the forts of Sedil Bahr, and proceeded west of Tenedos. The Medjidiyeh fired six on seven shells at two Greek destroyers cruising there, and the latter replied. The enemy, however, drew off into the Straits immediately they perceived the other Greek destroyers coming up.
    "At 11:25 A.M. the Medijiyeh and the Hamidiyeh separated from the squadron, which remained at the entrance of the Straits, and advanced west toward Tenedos, where for half an hour they exchanged shots with the Greek destroyers. The Turkish cruisers were followed to a certain point by their destroyers.
    "The fight ended by the flight of the enemy's warships into the Straits immediately they observed the whole Greek fleet appear on the horizon."
    The Hamidiyeh almost sank once in the war, when a Bulgarian torpedo boat fired a torpedo into her in the Black Sea.
