SLAV Of FF|CERS
Member of the japanese
Naval Staff Tells OF
Acts of Heroism in Battle
ONE REPELS RESCUERS
Captain Elects to Sink
With His Warship, but
Providence Spares His Life

TOXIC, Aug l7.-An officer of the
naval staff has made a statement in
which he pays high tribute to some OF
the Russian officers who participated
in the battle of the Sea of Japan. His
statement follows:
There were several Russian officers whose
conduct IN the recent battle deserves to be
held high a model and example for all
naval officers. Among the most noteworthy
was the conduct of Captain Rodieonon, com
mander OF the Admiral Nakhimon. Hls gal
lantry is as praiseworthy as that of Conn
mander Hirose. During the first day of the
battle the Nakhimon was exposed TO the fire
OF our main squadron and received serious
damage. During the night she was made the
object of severe torpedo attacks and finally,
completely disabled drifted close to the
Tsushima.
The vessel was sinking and Captain 'Rodieo-
nom sent seventy of the crew to land at
Tsushima, remaining aboard himself with his
chief navigator. When a Japanese approached
the sinking vessel they asked the captain TO
leave the vessel, but he refused The Jap
anese boarded the vessel and endeavored to
ship was listing badly and threatened momen-
tarily to plunge into the sea The japanese
were Obliged to draw off and the captain went
below, there to meet his death.
Suddenly the ship wentc down and our men
thought the gallant officer was drowned;
But Providence willed otherwise. We found
the captain and navigator In the water,
locked in each others arms. They had em-
braced at what they thought was the moment
of death and were partly unconscious when
We rescued them.
There a dramatic scene. when the Mon
omach went down The Sado Maru which
survived the remarkable experience with the
Vladivostok squadron, in which the Httachi
Maru was sunk came upon some of the crew
on the Monomach and rescued them Among
them was an engineer officer, who later died
and the officers of the Sado Maru gave him a
military funeral from the deck,
Later the Sado picked up the Monomach.
and getting-a line on her. endeavored to tow
her to Tsushima. The Monomach was leaking
badly and the attempt to tow her was a
failure. -.
Suddenly there was a great explosion aboard
the Monomach- and she began TO settle In the
water. Seeing that she was going down,
Captain Kamaya ordered the men OF the Sado
Maru to line the decks, and, calling the
buglers, directed them to sound taps. 1t
a pretty tribute to the Ship which had
been gallantIy fought and to the men who
gave up their lives.
