have been? We begin at this stage
to entertain some idea OF the magni.
tude Of the Daily Telegraph's exploit.
For on still closer inspection we dis
owe that the correspondent, when he
wired his description from Mojl, In
the Strait OF Shim0noseki, was really
ut some point on the Korean coast.
The fact IL explicitly alleged: when
your correspondents message left on
the evening OF the 29th the engage
nent was raging off the northern
coast Of Nagato 20 Tar a. could b
sighted from the korsan coast"
Here at length the problem Is solyed.
The Special Correspondent with the
Fleet" was plainly a supernatural
being. At n and the same moment
he was despatching q telegram from
Moji and watching from the Korean
coast an engagement raging 1t q
point 100 miles distant. Moreover.
as a matter Of fact, there was no en-
gaEement off Nagato province or any
where else on May goth: the fighting
had come altogether to an end on the
proceed iadnyg rs.w.IP and themm an
preceding day. 1t appears. therefore
that the Daily Telegraph employs as
special correspondents spooks or
spirits, omnipresent, since they can
be simultaneously writing messages
from Mol In Japan and taking obser.
vations on the coast Of Korea, and
omniscient since they can witness I'M
aginary battles from a distance OF
over 100 miles.
