The Chinese vessels were so close together that they began to be afraid of hitting each other, and stopped firing. The commander of the Hiyei, fearing the enemy would ram her if she continued her course, boldly turned her prow towards the space between the Ting-yuen and King-yuen, and advanced. She was at one time only 500 metres from them. Two torpedoes were discharged at her, but they crossed her path only ten or twelve metres from her stern ; and so were ineffective. She fought with several ...of the enemy's ships and passing through them, rejoined the main squadron. It was finely done. At this time, the main squadron had passed the enemy, and changing the course to the right, manoeuvred to get behind the enemy's squadron, which had now lost its line of battle. Two more Chinese men-of-war, probably the Chen-nan and the Cken-chimg, was seen at a distance ; but they did not take part in the battle. There were also torpedo-boats ; but they appear to have done little or nothing. The Hiyei which had escaped the torpedoes, was attacked by the Ting-yuen, whose great shell struck the ward-room and killed a large number, including Chief Surgeon Miyake and Paymaster Ishizaka.
