er the best sailors who had been me since the beginning of the siego and proposed to seize General Stoessel, who usurped an authority to which he had no right. He would have been arrested and imprisoned, and Port Arthur would have hold out for two months longer. The Baltic Fleet, which afterwards showed no hurry, would have had time to come to our rescue. Who knows what might have hap pened? General Smirnoff alone could have permitted this arrest, but he feared a revoli on the part of the troops on hearing of it, Consequently, I was sent back with my mon, of whom I was nevertheless, sure.
