On the Rossia a shell burst in a

were torn 10 shreds, but a mirror was
not scratched. Photographs and knick-
nacks on a writing table nearby were
not disturbed
In another part of the cruiser the
walls were blackened by the smoke of
a fierce fire. in which eight men were
burned alive. yet an almanac ON the
wall was not even scorched.
Parrot Was Unhurt.
Aboard the Gromoboi a shell entered
