Imoking lack, the fleet were bunched together and fairly helpless, as antil then, with the oxemption of our three-funnelled friend, oply the cruisers and gut properly under way, though they were all firing their heavy gaus as they wore ablo. A Russian Volunteer ship, armad as a cruiser, got under way as soon as any of them, and passing out through the battleships and half a-mile beyond, found things so hat that she turned and passed back inside them again, though how she escaped, while broadside on, is a marvel,

The Russian deel was lying in three lines outside us, and on the castorn side of the entranco there were also a few ships, gun-boats, training-ships and torpedo-bosts, craising in the same line with ourselves, making a fourth line. Suddenly we felt a beavy submarine explosion, with two more in quick succession.

It was impossible to see what damage the Japa suffered. It should, of course, have bean mast heavier than that of the Russians, seeing that they were under the fire of so many henry foris, as well as of the Russian foot. Yet we saw nothing to lead us to suppose that they were badly damaged, and they left in the same perfect order as they came. Nor was any ship of the Russian feat sink during the time that wo were presant, though several sustained considerable damage.
