March 10. Our two torpedo fiotillas

Damaged Russian Ships.
"Our fire greatly damaged the Russian
ships, one of which was badly crippled by
shot through the boilers, and another
was observed to be on fire. So close were
the two fotilas to each other that our
destroyers, the Asashio. Kasumi and
AkatsuN nearly touched the enemy's
ships and our crews could even hear the
cries Of agony of their injured men on
them. We sustained some damage and
loss. The Akatsuk had a steam pipe
broken and four stokers were killed
thereby. Our loss was seven killed and
eight wounded. Among the latter is

the land batteries pouring heavy fire
on our flotilla. the captured vessel was
taken in tow. Owing to the high sea the
