A VISIT TO PORT ARTHUR,

BY DAVID PRASER.

Jude, 13, 1905.

As Jerusalem is in Palestine, Port Arthur is to the Liaolong Peninsula. General Nogi, with whom I had campaigned last year, was in command of the district and he readily accord ed me permission to visit the scene of the famous siege.

It is a bare twenty miles to Port Arthur by route of crow, but by rail the distance is double) as far, and the journey a thousand times es slow, for north-west to the junction and back, south to the once Russian stronghold, takes four weary hours. The railway offices at Dalby regretted there was no carriage on the train, but he marshaliad me to a goods van as polito

It was a morning of consuming interest, for wo passed the field of the fierce fight at Nanshan, and later entered the mountains through which the Japanese fought their way, inch by inch, to the vary encente al Port Arthur. Carling in and around the valleys and hills the railway threads its way, giving... the traveller glimpses of trench-marked and shall-torn slopes, of stretches of wire entangle meats, and of camps and shelters cut out of the hillsides. Then we cross the flat valley of Suciszeyigg, pass' Kuropatkin Redoubt, and find the train plunging straight into the ring of frowning heights that guard the town.

Of the encircling forts, the nestling harbour, and sunken shipping the world has already heard much, much perhaps that it is tired of the subject. But interest must over attach where human endeavour has surpassed itself, be the result good or ill Here has been a mighty failure, and an heroic success.

the chances of a shell striking a vessel.

In the morning the tide is low, and so much" hull shows that it is difficult to realise that they are all hopelessly foundered. But as the water slowly fills the harbour there is no responsive movement in these broken monarche of the deep. Gradually the incoming tide creeps up the stained and battered sides, floods the lower decks and then balts, as if in mercy. Then the waters subside, to return again in kindly an deavour. But they cannot float those swamped ships, once so buoyant, now resting so heavily in the lapping waycı.

The naval authorities are kind enough to furnish me with a steam-launch to go round the harbour. I stand in the bows of the boat and am borne slowly past the sunken vessels,.. They show little signs of extensive damage: The aftermast of one lies across the decks, a smokestack on another is completely wrecked. Here and there the superstructure of heavy. steal plating is twisted and smashed by bursting projectiles. And several of the long poniard.. like guns have lost soma feet of their langths, can find only one or two cases of shell pane trating the bull. Several of the ships, though, one Hongkong Telegraph Office not later than show evidence of the explosions that sunk them, in the blasted and bulging appearance of the plates.
