NovIK DOES GOOD WORK.

"All this time we were racing along
the beach to the westward, while the
shells were falling thickly around us,
but fortunately bursting in the water.
One heavy shell that burst after cover
ed our stern with smoke and spray, so
that looking from forward l thought
our stern was blown away. A second
later one burst under our bows and
sent a shower up forward, and so
things went on, the conclusion taking
away our breath and shaking the ship
like a leaf. Looking ahead and astern,
you could see the shells plainly going
for the forts. One large shell that
passed close over us must have been
nearly spent. as it zig-Zagged from
side to side, changing its course as it
went; but when il struck the base of
the hill and exploded it shifted pile
of sand and stones.
1T was principally owing to the
cruiser Novik that we came in for such
a hot time, as the battleship returned
TO the rest Of the fleet shortly after
the fight began, and they never went
out any distance, but fioundered about,
il seemed very much in each others
way, under the guns of their heavy
forts. The commander of the Novik,
on the contrary, handled his ship very
pluckily having advanced far outside
the others to the westward along our
line of retreat. He kept lodging at
great speed backward and forward,
while his guns were served we'll and
quickly / am afraid, however, they
were too light to have much effect on
the battleships they were opposed to,
and at that end of the line, toward the
finish. he drew such a concentrated
fire from the heavy ships that he had
TO retire amid regular storm of shell,
one of which burst right at the stern,
but without apparently hitting the
Novik directly.
1T was lucky for us that the range
was long and the lighter guns little
used. or we could never have gone
through it. At 11:43 we cleared the
fire zone and by 11:45 the action had
practically ceased, as the Japanese
/ feet had turned shortly before, every
! ship in her own place, and steamed
across the Russian front, the cruisers
then leading, with the armored cruisers
next and the battleships bringing up
| the rear.
| 1t was Impossible 10 see WHAT lam
age the japanese suffered. ~ should
of course. have been much heavier than
| that of the Russians, seeing that they
were under the fire of so many heavy
forts, as we'll as of the Russian fleet
Yet we saw nothing to lead us to sup
pose that they were badly damaged,
and they left in the same perfect order
as they came. Nor was any ship of
/ the Russian fleet sunk during the time
that we were present, though several
sustained considerable damage. For
the japanese had failed to draw them
from under the guns of the, forts and
! the assistance that the stranded ships
were able to give with their heavy
/ guns.
THE Russians had engaged: Five
battleships. five cruisers and one vol
unteer cruiser, and they also had the
two battleships and one large cruiser
aground. The Japanese feet consisted
of sixteen ships, rating unknown, but
1 think there were four battleships,
three armored cruisers and nine
cruisers"

consumption. Doctors agree that
her case was hopeless, and forbade the
patient to go to Lourdes. However,
she defied the physicians, and went.
On her arrival she was completely

crisis Immediately followed the con.
tact with the cold water. The doc
tor declared that death was at hand,
and one of the fathers administered
the last sacrament But Marie faint
ly requested TO be immersed again,
and was dipped four times. Later,
perceptibly better, she was brought
back to Paris. and was carried to the
church of Notre Dame des Victories
for the closing ceremony of the ma
tional pilgrimage. During benedic.
tion she suddenly rose, those beside
her remarking that her face seemed
transfigured, and began singing a
hymn. Then she was gently led out
of doors. All the fever had gone
