Bursting Shells Bowled Over Man At.
ter Man.
The Novoikrai of Port Arthur thus
describes the scene on board the
cruiser Bayan during the recent bonn
bardment in which she distinguished
herself:
Bursting shells bowled over man
after man until the decks were slip
perry with blood. Amidst this storm
the captain stood unmoved in the con-
ming tower. calmly telephoning orders
to the gun captains. His wonderful
calmness had a marvellous influence
upon all the officers. The cockpit was
soon crowded, 80 being killed there be-
fore the fight ended, but, amidst the
crash of the guns, the hiss of flying
projectiles, the thunder of explosion,
the racket of splinters and the din Of
the working engines, the surgeons Ia
bored over the sick as at the hospital
operating table. Although some Of the
men suffered frightful agony, there
were few groans in spite of the fact
that anesthetics were administered in
only one case.
when the battle ended and the
enemy began to draw off, the officers
on the bridge cheered and the cheer
ing extended down into the hold, the
stokers and even the wounded men
joining in.
