came six Of the enemy's cruisers. Still
the Bayan went on, seemingly inviting
certain destruction. She soon ported
her helm to bring a broadside to bear
upon the foe. which was advancing in
line of battle.
She opened on some OF them, and
turned quickly and stood on into the
hail Of the enemy's broadside. The
japanese steamed at slight angle,
enabling all their guns to bear. and
pro1ectiles rained around the Bayan,
raising columns of water as they
burst, but none struck home.

them off. but the Bayan, noticing the
movement, checkmated it by turning
a hot fire upon them. The move was
effective. The Japanese cruisers
slowed down, and the torpedo boats
slipped through into the harbor.
Meanwhile, in accordance with Vice
Admiral Makaroff's order, the battle
ships and cruisers in the inner harbor
slipped anchor. Majestically the Pc
tropavlovsk, flying the admirals flag,
steamed through the entrance. On her
appearance the more formidable enemy
of Japanese cruisers turned and fed
The admiral signalled the Bayan to re-
turn. Then a stream of vari-colored
signal flags fluttered out, Brave Ba-

By this time the entire Russian
squadron was in the outer harbor. Be
side the Petropavloysk l saw the bat
tleships Peresviet, Poltava, Pobieda
and Sevastopol, the cruisers Novik,
Diana and Askold and the torpedo
boats. The flags announcing the ad-
miral's appreciation of the Bayan were
hauled down and replaced by another
signal. Immediately the torpedo boats
dashed ahead, and the heavier ships be-
gan to spread out.
Seeing the flight of the Japanese
cruisers, the Petropavlovsk opened
fire with her great guns. but the enemy
was out of range and soon disappeared.
Our squadron continued the chase,
finally fading from view. l waited anx-

CORRESPONDENTS THRILLING STORY
OF PETROPAVLOVSk'S DESTRUCTION

Lao Yang, April 1S.-The Associat-
ed Press correspondent, believing that
the Japanese would repeat the attempt
to block the entrance to Port Arthur
with fire ships on Easter Eve, went
from Lao Yang to Port Arthur week
ago yesterday. For four nights 1
watched with the sentries on Golden
hill. Three nights passed quietly.
Tuesday night, April 18th, Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff took to sea with his en-
tire squadron, including fourteen tor
pedo boats. The next night, April
18th, in the teeth of gale, eight tor
pedo boats were sent out to reconnoi-
ter. From Golden hill, on which l
was standing. the searchlights of the
Notifications flashed through the
blackness over the inky waters of the
roadstead and far out into the hazy
horizon.
At IL o'clock l heard firing at sea,
and counted seven shots, but could
see nothing. At daybreak l made out
through the light haze to the south
ward, about five miles from shore, six
torpedo boats strung out in line, all
firing. In the lead and outstripping all
the others was boat heading at full
speed directly for the entrance of the
harbor.
The last In line was beclouded with
steam and tagging. She had evidently
been hit. 1t was difficult to distin-
guish our boats. but finally through
my glasses l saw that the leader and
the laggard were Russian and the four
others were Japanese. The flashing of
the guns and the splash of the project
tiles as they struck the water showed
the intensity of the conflict.
The torpedo boat from which the
steam was escaping was firing vicious
ly. The four center craft drew togeth-
er and concentrated their fire upon
her, but the crippled destroyer poured
out her fire and was successfully keep
ing off her assailants.
The signal station flashed the news
70 the men of the batteries that the
vessel was the Strashni.
The unequal combat was observed
with breathless interest, but the net
drew close around the doomed boat
The four japanese vessels formed a
semi-circle and poured in deadly fire.
The steam from the Strashni grew
denser, covering her like white pail
Still she fought like a desperately
wounded animal brought to bay.
Running straight for the adversary
barring her way to safety, she passed
the Japanese astern and fired at them
At this stage, Vice Admiral Makar-

gress of the conflict through tele-
scope, signalled to the cruiser Bayan.
