Toxic, Dec. 15.-4 p. m.-The par
TALLY successful torpedo attack on the
SeVastopol was made in the face OF
almost insurmountable obstacles, and
writes another inspiring story of tire
splendid bravery of number of Off
GERS.
Facing a driving snowstorm and
heavy seas, teh fiotilla separated, and,
under individual commanders the YES
sells attacked Independently. The decks
of the destroyers and torpedo boats
were coated with ice and the men siif-
fered acutely from cold.
The Russians resorted to the most
extreme precautions to protect the Sc
vastopol. They dropped torpedo nets
which shielded the bows of the war
ship, and the Sevastopol was further
protected by a specially constructed
wooden boom, the framework of when
was composed of iron-bound logs and
cables and heavy chains interlaced
and entangled. From the surface CT
this boom hung deep curtain made
of torpedo nets taken from the sum-
EN- battleships the purpose Of which
was to catch and destroy the torpedos
and their mechanism. the torpedo
boats and the destroyers evidently
forced the openings which the Rus
slams had left so as to allow commun-
ication with the harbor.
