mately on her way to Asan, on the morn
ing of July 25, was ordered BY the Japan
ese to anchor off the island of Shopaigul,
where she remained until twice boarded
by Japanese officers. Then, without Civ
ing any provocation, she was fired into and
sunk by torpedoes from the guns of the
Japanese cruiser Naniwa. Tie Japanese,
according to the testamony of the surviv-
ors, fred on the wretches wdo were trying
to save their lives by swimming, with gat-
