the desperation of the Russian situa-
ton is emphasized, when the Russian
government finds it necessary to
sink its own ships to get rid Of the
sailors who have rebelled. Up to
this time on land the ordNrs were TO
kill the rebels and destroy their prop

possession of the ships, government
property must be destroyed to get
rid of them. This suggests that, II
