proceeded toward the Russians in vertical llno
formation The Souvaroff opened fire first ana
then suddenly turned, reversing her course. Al
most simultaneously the AIikasa opened tre

the great sea battle. The hostile fleets gradu-

vigorous fire The armored cruiser AZama ap-
preached within three thousand metres OF the
Russian feet and carefully observed its action.
After short but fierce fight the Admiral
