orders for increased speed, the Admiral
Seniavin and General Admiral Apraxine
dropped behind. Toward 10 o'clock the
Japanese feet appeared first to port and
then to starboard while the cruiser di-
vision maneuvered behind to starboard.
Baron Ferzen's account continues:
I was off from the squadron and,
finding it impossible to rejoin it. resolved
to make for VIadivostok- put on full
speed, and the enemy's cruisers came in
pursuit. Owing to the insufficient coal
supply and the certainty of meeting the
eneny's cruisers altered my course for
Vladimire bay arriving May 20. At l.: 80
next morning in pitch darkness the
Izumrud ran full on a reef at the en-
trance of the bay. Having only ten
tons of coal and seeing that it would be
impossible to ref1oat my vessel order
ed the crew ashore and blew up the
Izumrud to prevent her falling into the
hands of the enemy. Ten of my sailors
were wounded in the battle, but the
officers and the rest of the crew are all
