A NAVAL FIGHT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
"The great naval force of the Tsar, with which we were now face to face," continued Lieutenant Ingleton in his narrative, "consisted of the new battleship _Petropavlovsk_ of 10,960 tons, with a speed of 17 knots; the great turret-ship _Dvenadsat Apostoloff_ of 8076 tons; the two new barbette-ships _Kama_ and _Vologda_ of the _Cizoi Veliky_ type; the _Tchesme_ of 10,181 tons, the _Gheorghy Pobyednosets_ of 10,280 tons, and the powerful _Tria Sviatitelia_ of 12,480 tons; the two enormous new cruisers _Tiumen_ and _Minsk_, both of 17,000 tons, and running at 20 knots; the _Vladimir Monomach_ of 5754 tons; the armoured gunboat _Otvazny_, and the new rams _Admiral Seniavine_ and _Admiral Uschakoff_, with thirty torpedo boats, including the _Kodor_, _Reni_, _Anakria_, and _Adler_, the latter being able to run at 27.4 knots.
"Against such a gigantic force as this our small force of vessels and torpedo boats presented but a sorry appearance.
Nevertheless we had fired the first shot, and were now determined to die rather than haul down our colours.
As our guns thundered, those of the _Jupiter_, _Repulse_, _Sans Pareil_, _Undaunted_, _Orlando_, _Diana_, _Scout_, and _Gannet_ joined in noisy chorus.
