We had no time to rescue the crew from the sinking Russian vessel as the emeny's cruiser Bayan approached to the vicinity at
that time.
The third fleet arrived off Port Arthur at eight o'clock that morning when the Rus- sian cruiser Bayan came out of the Port Arthur Harbour and opened fire.
The Russian cruisers Novik, Askold and Diana, and the battleships Petropavlovsk, Pobieda and I'oltava immediately came out and commenced an offensive attack.
Our third fleet tardily answering the Rus sian guns; and gradually retiring, enticed the enemy 15 miles south-east of Port Arthur, when our First fleet receiving information from the Third, by means of wireless tele- graphy, suddenly appeared before the enemy, and attacked.
While the enemy was endeavouring to regain Port Arthur a battleship of the Petropavlovsk type struck the mines we had laid on the previous evening, and sunk at 10.32 a.m.
Although another ship was observed to have lost her freedom of movement, the confusion of the enemy's ships prevented us from identifying her.
The enemy finally managed to regain l'ort Arthur.
Our Third fleet suffered no damage, and damage sustained by the enemy, excepting what has been mentioned above, was pro- bably slight also.
Our first fleet did not arrive within Gring distance.
Our fleets retired at 1 p.m. and prepared
for another attack,
Our ships again made an approach to Port Arthur on the 14th inst.
The second, fourth and fifth destroyer flotillas, and the ninth torpedo flotilla also joined our larger ships at 3 a.m., and the third fleet at 7 a.m.
None of the enemy's ships were outside Port Arthur at that time.
Our first flect arrived at 9 a.m., discover ed three mines laid by the enemy, and des- troyed them.
The new cruisers Kasuga and Niishin were despatched to the west of Laotishan and
made an indirect bombardment for two hours, this being the first action of these ships.
The new forts at. Laotishan were finally silenced.
Our forces retired at 1.30 p.m. THE ARREST OF THE S.S. HAIMUN,
