On the Sea

IN THE DARDANELLES. DESTROYER ON A SCOUTING MISSION UP THE DARDANELLES. Tenedos, April 14. The destroyer Regard, on a scouting mission, ran up the Dardanelles at high speed, penetrating a record distance under heavy fire, but was unhit. The battleship London followed, and drew the fire of the howitzers from tho Asiatic batteries. Apparently the Turks have withdrawn part of the artillery from the European side, in order to mass quickly at any spot the Allies choose for a landing party. The Triumph on Saturday bombarded and put a battery out of action. The rain and misty weather are hindering aerial reconnaisances.
