The destroyers are to attack to-night, and at the first break of dawn we are to begin the bombardment.
The captain thinks that Togo's intention is to make the Russian squadron believe that a decisive attack is imminent, and thus compel them to remain where they are or in the roadstead, with- out letting any vessels go out. For these, if they made a sortie, might give trouble to our First Army, which to-morrow morning has to disembark at Chemulpo.
THE "FUJI" DAMAGED 85 A couple of Russian cruise
...rs or destroyers in these waters could, at the cost of their own lives, cause us considerable loss.
Yellow Sea, March 2'^rd and 2/^h.
The bombardment took place, and the poor Fuji has come out of it somewhat damaged. And she is not alone in this, for the Asahi and a small cruiser, whose name we do not know, were on the point of foundering. This is what happened.
As was to be expected, the destroyers which made an attack the night before met with no success ; and this was not surprising, for, besides the Retvisan, which always remains at the entrance of the harbour, hke an advanced battery, a patrolling service has been organised by means of cruisers and the coast batteries, which keep continually searching the roadstead with their searchlights ; so what possible chance is there for a destroyer to be successful ?
