LIEUT.-COMMANDER NORMAN D. HOLBROOK, V.C. 
Who. by an act of brilliant daring, entered the Dardanelles and sank with a torpedo the Turkish battleship Mes^vJiych, which, 
next to the Goeben, i» the most powerful unit in the Turkish Navy. In order to reach this ship it was necessary to 
pass under and through the mine-fields, and the exploit loses none of its magnificence by the fact that the currents at the 
entrance to the Dardanelles are exceedingly treacherous. It is a matter of congratulation that, allhoixh hctly pursued ar.ci 
fired at, the intrepid Cuninjander succeeded in re'.urning safely to his base.
