CHANNEL ACTION.
LONG-RANGE GUNS. (Rec. 1.40 p.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 10. A communique states that German coastal batteries last night dispersed a convoy running out from Dover. Four ships returned to Dover and two to Deal, towing a damaged steamer. An eighth ship was abandoned on lire. The firing ended owing to the growing darkness. “An hour later our long-distance guns fired on the battery at Dover, which tried to reply to our attack against the convoy. Our guns silenced the enemy after a two-hour battle.”
