Sorry Spectacle.

The NussfHu Fleet Omcers Present ~
Sorry Spectacle.
Despite the gravity OF the North sea
incident and the feeling or horror over
the act that obtains with every think
ing person. there are a whole lot OF
people in ST. Petersburg who are
laughing at the ludicrous picture that
Rojestvensky and his fleet presents.
If the true story OF the onslaught on
the harmless fishing feet were told it
would be that Rojetvcnsky and every
one of his officers and men were panic
stricken from the instant that the
fleet left the waters of the Baltic sea.
There had been drinking and carous-
inc for days previous to the sailing
ana many of the officers Of the fleet
stood on the bridges Of their vessels
rs they sailed away from land so i'll
toNicated- that they had 10 cling to
the rail for support. 50 II Is not hard
10 understand the firing upon the
trawlers. The only wonder is that
they did not complete the terrible af-
fair by sinking the whole fishing fleet,
The logical reason for their not doing
so is the fact that there Is not above
Il score Of real gunners aboard the
fleet, and the men who manned the
guns on that memorable night I'M
doubtedly did the best they could, and
that was certainly bad enough.
