Jan. 19, 1905.
ssDEAR DAD.-We came here from Che
foo, China, which ls about 60 miles from
Port Arthur. We relieved the New Or
leans (sister ship to the Albany there
Before we went there three Russian de-
stroyers were chased into the harbor by
the laps. The Russians sank one vessel "a
keep It from being captured. The Japs
went in at night and, as there was no one
to protect them, took the other two away.
Christmas night we saw the flash of
guns and searchlights outside the harbor
but did not learn what was done. The
morning of January I'd four torpedo boats,
Russian, came into the harbor under full
speed. they had escaped from Port Ar
thur, but were chased by a large Jap fleet
and barely got into the harbor in time.
We could see the smoke OF the fleet out
side.
HOur admiral, Folger, sent the Russians
word they could stay in the harbor the "a
hours allowed by international law or dis
arm and they would be protected, so
about noon they moved into the inner
harbor and commenced to disarm. In the
afternoon three Jap destroyers came in
and as taunt and to reconnoiter cireled
the harbor twice aud then went out. Our
battalion (marines) and all other men
that could be spared, were given 100
rounds Of ammunition, two days rations
and arms and stood by for two days to
land at minutes notice. We got steam
up ia the engines and stood by for the
same length of time TO get under way at 20
minutes notice. That night seven Jap
destroyers came in without lights and an
chored around us. One went into the in
ner harbor and cruiser lay outside. I'm
the morning the cruiser saluted our flag
and the next day all the Jsps sailed away.
The men from the Russian vessels we're
taken ashore and housed in a fort.
1.-TWO days afterward we heard that Port
Arthur had fallen. This meant a loss to
some in Chefoo, as there were several
blockade runners in the harbor. They
had made several successful trips and
would have made more. We lived like
lords while there. Fruit, game and fowls
were cheap. A pair of partridges cost
about AZ cents in gold, or one dollar
dolby, as we call the Chinese money"
