E2 operated on patrol in the Marmara with E11 with some success, between 13th August and 14th September, and also attempted to cut the Constantinople-Adrianople railway line by sending the First Lieutenant, Lt. L.V. Lyon, ashore with a demolition charge. Although a loud explosion was heard, nothing more was ever seen of Lyon.
E2 became entangled in nets during the passage up the Narrows which badly strained the gun mounting. It took some two days hard work before the gun was serviceable. Then, in an action with E11 against a Turkish 'Q' ship the mounting collapsed, but E2's hard-pressed engineering department once again effected temporary repairs that enabled the submarine, with E11, to carry out a very successful bombarment at Mudania.
