British troop transport Manitou attacked by Turkish torpedo boat according to the Dutch newspaper Bataviaasch nieuwsblad dated 19 April 1915

An item dated London, England 17th referred to a statement of the British Admiralty that the British troop transport Manitou was attacked that day by a Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegian Sea. The three torpedoes fired by the torpedo boat all missed and she fled chased by the cruiser Minerva and destroyers. Finally the torpedo boat stranded on the coast of Chios and was destroyed. Her crew was taken prisoner. Around 100 men on board of the transport drowned. A day later stated the admiralty that 24 men were drowned and 27 missing, probably due to two boats capsizing. The Manitou herself was undamaged.
