The battle in the straits of Korea,
where Vice Admiral kamimura, with
four armored cruisers. met the three
armored cruisers of the Vladivostok
squadron, resulted in the sinking of
one. the Rurik. The Rossia and Grom-
oboi returned to Yladivostok under
their own engines. If Kamimura had
fought but little harder, a little
longer. and a little closer, the Rossia
and Gromoboi would never have got
back to port. They were in a fear
fully battered condition. Why he quit
fighting when the Muscovites, accord
ing to their own reports. were all but
sinking, remains a mystery. He did
not have Togos excuse that he must
preserve his ships against the posi-
bic advent of the Baltic squadron.
Togo had already won his fight and

assured AS 1t is, the Rossia and
Gromoboi have been joined at Vladi-
