Yin-Kow is the port of Niuchwang, and

this is probably well guarded. There are
numerous other bridges and culverts
along the line running down to Dalny and
Port Arthur. In some places the line runs
close to the shore, where the Japanese

line with long-distance firing.

miraculous. The force Of the explosion
sent Grand Duke Cyril flying across the
bridge and the base Of his skull struck an
Iron stancheon. Fortunately. he did not
lose consciousness.

sink he clambored hastily down its side
and boldly plunged into the water. He
