| The Miura, Commanded By Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Kersley, R.N.R., Ramming A German Torpedo-Boat.
The German torpedo boats, the A2 and the A6, immediately attacked the three remaining vessels, the Barbados, Miura and Chirsit, riddling their upper works with machine gun fire, though doing little real damage. Their attention was specially directed at first to the Barbados, and her skipper being badly wounded in the foot, Lieutenant-Commander Sir James Domville took the wheel and handled the ship with great dexterity. The Chirsit a vessel captured from the enemy and now commanded by Sub-Lieutenant Stapleford-drew away from the thick of the fight to draw the fire of the enemy upon hi vessel. These tactics were successful, and the A6, which engaged her, was so much occupied that she did not notice the Miura, commanded by Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Kersley, R.N.R., coming up on her quarter. Soon, however, the enemy fired a torpedo. It missed, and a few moments later the Miura crashed into her stern, knocking a hole in her below the water line, besides sending some of her crew overboard. |
