Impossible 70 Take Knight Comman-
der Into Port.
St. Petersburg. Aug. THE official
account of the sinking Of the Brit
ish steamer Knight Commander by the
VladivOStOk squadron says that Rus
sian cruiser fired two blank shots at
her at a distance of two miles. Instead
of stopping, the vessel steamed at full
speed towards the gulf Of Toxic, and
only heaved to at a second shell, hav-
ing in the meantime hoisted the Brit
ish flag.
The visit to the vessel, the official
account says, showed that the captain
had neither charter nor manifest, but
certified copies Of these documents pre-
sented by the captain showed that his
cargo was destined for Kobe and YOko-
hama It was established that the yes

to sail for Japan with raw material and
machinery, which is cOntraband. and
the vessel was therefore liable to con-

The proximity Of a japanese port.
the lack of coal on board the Knight
Commander to carry her to a Russian
port and the impOssibility Of cOaling
from Russian cruiser owing TO the
high sea running, obliged the Russian
commander to sink the vessel.
The members of the crew were taken
to >NladivOstOk as passengers and not
as prisoners. They were granted per-
feet liberty and every possible assist
ance was given them. They were also
invited to attend the sittings of the
prize court, although there was no OBJ
legation on their part to do so.
