the Russians sank at sea the same even

The satisfaction of the people Of St

ration for the bravery of the Japanese

ferred TO drown rather than surrender.

that 20D men went down with the ship.
The admiralty admits that the men act

YesZcn had no other alternative tnan to
sink the transport, saying he could not
spare a prize crew or hamper his swift
squadron with n slower steamer. 1t is
pointed out that the officers on board the
kinshili-AIaru appreciated the situation
by accepting Imprisonment rather THIN
