Ail Austrian oruiser with five destroyers attempted to repeat the exploit of bombarding Durazzo. They were allowed to approach and open fire. Then the Italian, British, and French cruising, squadron appeared. A seaplane was launched from the Austrian ' cruiser, which was just in time to notify tho cruiser that the Allies were coming, when a shot through the motor sent the seaplane headlong into the sea, and the Allies attacked the squadron, while torpedo boats attempted to cut off the retreat. 1 The seaplane's warning, however, enabled the Austrians to fly, leaving the Triglav and Lika (destroyers) in a sinking condition. Some of the' Lika's crew were made prisoners, but the Triglav sank, with all hands. FRENCH SUBMARINE SUNK. AUSTRIAN TRANSPORT LOST. (Rfie. January 2, 5.5 p.m.) Paris, January 1.
