actually assumed the offensive. On
the night of March 10th he sent six
torpedo boats to sea to look for the
Japanese warships. These met the
enemy and maintained a hot fight, each
side losing a torpedo boat. Observing

went out with two cruisers to face the
entire Japanese fleet, but too late to

port.
