bardment. begun at 10 o'clock in the
morning, resulted in the sinking of the
cruiser Askold and torpedoer. the Grip
ping of the Novik and the silencins of
the Retyizan. The japanese withdrew
in perfec order. The attack was in COM
pliance with the Mikado's orders that
Port Arthur must be taken at bll costs.
When the bombardment began the
Russian cruisers Noyik, Bayan and
Askold, accompanied by four torpedo
boats, steamed out of the har!,or to meet
the attack. After a fierce battle they
were compelled to retire
The Askold was in a sinking condition,
the Novik greatly damaged. and one tor
pedo boat sunk. The Russian battleship
Retyizan, which has been on the rocks
since the first engagement of the war,
was special target for the Japanese
fire, and was struck several times.
When the japanese saw that they had
done all the damage possible they with
drew in good order. As far as is known,
their feet suffered no damage. After the
bombardment a large force OF Russian
artillery was sent to Pigeon bay, it be-
ing feared that the japanese would at
tempt to land troops there.
Port Arthur was reported very short
of provisions. The soldiers manning the
land batteries seemed denoralized by the
