the most terrible in oriental marine his

The storm was a furious one and caused
great excitement on the warships. The per-
Iectly disciplined Russian crews took In

able difficulty into the inner harbor.
There was not a single European officer
on the Heeching, and the scene on her
decks We're one Of utmost confusion The
terrified Chinese sailors rushed from one

russians could learn, no attempt was
made to get up her anchors
