the harbor our fleet successfully engaged
him and finally, with the valuable sup
port of the besieging army, succeeded in
crushing nearly all the enemy's SQUAD

damaged the Vladivostok squadron that
it has since been unable to leave port.
All this success is gratefully attributed
to the brilliant virtue of our emperor.
During the blockade all the ships un-

plished the work and duty assigned to
them. Especially to be noted are some
of those who engaged in the difficult and
risky task of blockading or who tire
lessly accomplished the work of laying
mines in the presence of the enemy;
others who, Drawing all dangers, were
engaged in the work of clearing mines
away, and others still who were posted
to watch the enemy and guard against
the enemy's ships. Their combined
work strongly contributed to the ac-
complishment of the blockade. / deem
