THE END OF THE CRUISER

"TAKASAGO,"

AN INTERESTING STORY.

After the great haval battle on August 10th last outside Port Arthur, the remaining ships of the Russian squadron at Fort Arthur, took shelter deep in the harbour, coly one or two of the vessels occasionally venturing out. The Japanese fleet maintained the blockade of Port Arthur, the main force remaning at the third advance base. The fist second-class cruiser

"Takasago," of 4,20 tons and 24 knots, com pleted repairs at Kure etly in December 1904, 4. and proceeded direct to the Pechili Gulf to re- sume ber blockade service. She steamed twice along the coast of the gulf, aud in the forenoos of December 11th the arrived at a certain poing at the entrance of the Gulf, to coal: It was nowing hard at the time, with a piercing nor. therly wind high seas, and the coiller did not arrive at the time appointed. On the fol. lowing day the cruiser visited the same place and waited for the collier, bet the stormy seas bad evidently prevented the vessel from keep ing the appointment, and the "Takasago" was compelled to drift during the day in order to save coal and to stenin slowly at night, Shortly after 12.0'clock midnight on the lath December, with only the watch on deck, the cruiser was slowly steaming on the eart of the grop of islands at the entrance to the Gulf, 25 miles south of Part Arth ir, when a terrible ex- plosion took place on the pastside, sending a cloud of water ich in the air. It was evident the cruiser had struck a mine at the water-line amidships, and through a large hole, about six fect square, tons of water were rushing with tremendous force. In a very short while the ship listed heavily to port. Captain Ishibashi. quickly mounted the forebrigde, and Commander Nakajama second

in com.

mand, at once gave orders to try and check the inrush. The collision mats were gat out, boats wore lowered, and all measures taken to save ship and crew. All the efforts made, however,

were of no avail, although coal, ammunition, and other heavy articles on the pottside were Jettisoned to si, ki t ́e warship. The list in creased and it became apparent that the cruiser must shorly sink. Fifeen minut, after the

mine struck the electric light was suddenly extinguished, the only iht that remained be ing that on the bridge it was found the boats on the starboard could not be lowered on ne count of the beavy list to port, and only a life. boal, always ready, could be lowered with difficulty. On the partside the steam-launch was smashed and useless, and only a cutter and femia boat were serviceable These three boats being lowered, the fixed number of men entered them, no one else attempting to leave the doomed ship. Forty-two minutes after

midnight the disaster was communicated to the Fleet by wireless telegraphy.

The end was now very neat. Captain Ishibashi on the forebridge assembled the 500

officers and men still on the vessel, and an- nounced that everyone should place a lifebouy on and remain on board as long as the ship Was afloat. A dead silence fallowed this brief order. Every man was determined to die with bie ship.

An hour after midnight the clear notes of the bugle were heard. All on board, joined in 'singing the "Kimigayn," after which'. Captain. Ishibashi led in thienza" for the Em peror, and cheers for the Empire and Navy, followed by the song of the Brave Sailor The singing took about seven minutes. The men were now allowed to smoke, and soon the strange sight was presented of officers and mon seated in all parts of the ship smoking and quietly waiting for the ship to go down. Round about them was darkneus,

The seas

Five hundred officers and men were str gling in the water: The three boats which were lowered endeavoured to save as many men as they could, but they themselves were in great peril, and practically helpless in the gale. Presently through the darkness. the flash of the searchlight told that help was approaching in response to the telegraphic message. In a few minutes the dispatch boat "Otowa" had arrived and was doing what she could to rescue the living. In a very short while three basts from the town,” assisted by the thres boals of the Takasago," had rescued 140 officers and men, including Captain Ishibas 1. Of there a number subsei quently died from exposure. Two hundred and sixty officers and men met the fate they had faced calmly when waiting for the war- ship to sink-ipan Chronicie."

For example, there is the art of being a grandmother-one of the most agreeable and usefal of a woman's accomplishments. It has the joys of motherhood without its responsi- bilities. The grandmother at forty is only the beginning of a grandmother, At sixty she bas a small store of whooping-cough and collega 'scrapes' and love affairs and weddinge onj which she may craw as occation requires Bat at eighty the accumulation is really splendid, and yields a new treasure for each grandchild.
