Boats Grounded on Sand Bank.
The boats grounded on a sand bank
zeal the Korean side and drew the
fire of the Japanese outposts. There
was a sharp fusilade at close range.
The position of the boats was highly
critical owing to the appearance of a
number of light barges filled with jap
anese coming out of the small trib-
utary stream called the Pomaku. which
is unmarked even on the maps of the
Russian general staff.
The intention of the barges was to cut
off the retreat of the Russians. This
was noticed from the other bank, two
miles distant, and a couple of field guns
opened fire. A lucky shot sank one OF
the barges and the others withdrew.
Japanese casualties are not known.
