The main difficulty from the first has beau to discover how Admiral Rozhdestvensky arrived nt the conclusion that there were two foreign torpedo-boats among the Hul trawlers, and whence he derived the impression. It soems that. the Russian feet, when nearing the fishing floot, was proceeding in somewhat loose formation, and the admiral accordingly signalled to his vessels "Column of Division line" ahead," or, in other words, to form two parallel lines. Quite Russian Navy, and this may account for mach that happened. In the British Navy, when s new signal is introduced, it is practised and re- practised for weeks at a time until the new na assumed the familiarity of the old. With the Baltic Fleet, nawly formed as it was, a new signal may easily have been misunderstood, and the belief obtains that the two rearmost vessels of the port line of ships, misreading a signal, cro-sed over, and got on the surboard side of the starboard line. Moving quickly thy eroit- id alarm, und so attracted the fire of their own consorts. Then, perceiving their mistak the two errant vessels, it is thought, hastened to go back to their proper stations, occasioning the impression that they were fitting backwards they were hostile ships.
