Now that the Baltic Fleet has actually arrived within a few hundred miles of Hong- kong and the talk of battle is heard on every side the question of its fighting value assum- es a fresh importance.

Moreover, it was the firing of the shots that first called his attention to the fact that the "stop" signal was lying from

The officer spent an hour examining the ship's papers, studying the log. book, and inspecting the vessel, even having the hatches opened in order that he might see for himself what the cargo really was. At the end of that period he withdrew his men, and, telling the captain to wait until he was further signalled from the cruiser, returned to that vessel, and a quarter of an hour afterwards the signal was hoisted, "you may proceed." The Brunkilde then resumed her interrupted voyage to Hong. kong. In the meantime, the cruiser circled around the firushilde, passing under her stern barely half a ship's length away. The

The impression is confirmed, too, when the four principal cruisers are con- sidered. They are reported to be well-armed and manned and capable of steaming up wards of twenty knots, so that they should meet on fairly equal terms the best cruisers of the Japanese navy. But the composition of the squadron, al present believed to be off the coast of Indo-China, dues not include many battleships; whereas the Japanese are known to have sent the pick of their armed fighting vessels into the waters of South China, and when it is remembered that the has been awarded the ships are of 15,000 tons and steam eighteen knots, the superiority of the belligerents so far as their naval forces are concerned seeins to rest with them.
