When, the Sado Maru was acting as a military transport during the Russo-Japanese War in June, 1904. she was intercepted by the Russian Vladivostock. Squadron, near Ikishima.

As the Awa maru was one of the earliest ships built by the Mitsu- bishi Yard her trials took a long time, for she was built under the Subsidy Act, and received a very comfortable bonus both for power and speed. She also acted as s transport during the Russo- Japanese War, but did not have the
exciting adventures of her sister. Both ships were replaced on the main European service by the ad- vent of new and very much bigger ships in the years that immediately preceded the war, but they were far from being worn out, and since. then they have done excellent work on the Pacifle and Indian services, In addition to a few sailings on their original run when conditions
were abnormal.
