boats were sunk, the remainder with

Eight fireships were sunk and very
few of their crews were saved. Most
of them were killed. Many dead bod
les were seen floating about outside
the harbor. These were collected by
the Russians, who brought ashore and
buried them. This new attempt of the
Japanese was on much grander scale
than any heretofore made, but the
moonlight aided in the discontinue
of the discovered enemy. The Jap
anese attacked brilliantly, without
seeming to notice the murderous fire
directed on them. The Russians cap
tured two officers and thirty men.
1t Is reported that twelve ships had
been prepared by the Japanese, but
for some unknown reason two of them
never attempted to approach the en-

1t is stated that the crews of the fire.
ships included number of Japanese
cadets, who showed extraordinary

were sinking. Several of the crew sat
on the topmasts firing revolvers, and
then plunged into the sea. 1t is be-

saved.
