Each Austrian cruiser took one-third of the line and began slowly and systematically to destroy the barrage with their 10-centimetre (4 in) guns, urging all Allies on board to abandon their ships first.
Svaka austrijska krstarica preuzela je jednu trećinu linije te su započeli polagano i sustavno razarati baražu sa svojim 4 inčnim topovima prisilivši Antantine mornare na palubi na brzo napuštanje njihovih brodova.
