 There Is every evidence that the mutiny was deliberately and perfectly planned by the social revolutionaries, who have been pushing their propaganda with great energy since the St. Petersburg strike was organized to save the Cronstadt mutineers.
 Friday eight sailors at the barracks seized, disarmed and expelled their of ficers. They then assembled a great meet ing Rear Admiral Pisarevski, command CT of the practice squadron, supported by a company from the Brest regiment. went to the meeting and when it refused to dis perse, ordered the troops to fire.
 Instead of shooting the mutineers. how ever, two shots rang out and Captain Stein of the company fell dead, and Rear Admiral Pisarevsh received a ball in his shoulder
 During the night the sailors with the aid of the social democratic leaders, hav- ing learned a leson from the less prud- ent mutineers at Cronstadt, elected of ficers and decided upon a programme pledging themselves not only to pillage. kill and drink vodka, but to take meas ures to prevent rowdyism.
