a little before the war. Eighty men
were given leave on Sunday, when
only public houses were open, and not
one single man of them broke leave or
got drunk. Their captain had told them
that "the honor of the Bayan" was in
their keeping, and-that was enough.
But incidents Of this sort did not endear
him to jealous mediocrites.
To the lasting credit of the Russian
feet it should, however, be stated that
after the early disasters the captains at
Port Arthur themselves proposed that
Robert Wren should be their admiral;
an act Of self-sacrifice that must go far
to discount all the tales Of inefhciency
that we have been told. This sacrifice
of chances of distinction for the sake
Of a promising junior is almost. If not
quite, unique in the history of the world.
Now, at the eleventh hour, Rear Admiral
Wren flies his flag at Port Arthur, and,

matched by an antagonist equal to him
