WEDNESDAY'S - OCTOBER 10, 1894
IN BLOOD AN INCH DEEP.
' This is a story of a great sea fight, the
first of the war in the Orient. It comes
straight from the lips of one who saw
with bis own eyes the tragic events of
which he tells, and had, himself, a part
in this remarkable duel of the sea. The
battle he described was fonght by the
Chinese cruiser Yang Wei, and the
Japanese flagship Matsushima, July 12,
last, about 80 miles southwest of Che
mulpo, Corea, and lasted ' three hours,
resulting in almost complete destruction
of both vessels and a. terrible loss of life
to both. The narrator of both these
stirring events is a young Englishman
who was supervising engineer of the
Yang Wei, and who has served for four
years in the Chinese navy. In a subse
quent engagement he was injured to such
an extent that he had to leave the em
peror's service and come to the United
States for medical treatment. He is
now in San Francisco, in a physician's
care, shattered and feeble in health, as a
result of his experience in -two of the
most interesting and most deadly naval
battles of modern times.
The engineer tells, as preliminary to
his story, how the Yang Wei was ordered
Chemulpo and there met the Japanese to
fleet of seven vessels. The commander
of the Yang Wei was ordered to watch
the Japanese fleet, and when the latter
pat out to sea, the Yang Wei followed.
This is what caused the fight. He tells
the Japanese ship Naniwa-Kan signaled
to the Yang Wei that if she persisted in
following she would be fired on. The
Yang Wei paid no attention to this
warning, and kept right on. The Nan-iwa-Kan
did not fire, and the Chinese
ship passed the Naniwa-Kan, and
eteamed ahead of the Matsushima, the
Japanese flagship. The Japanese ad
miral evidently thought that the Mat
sushima was more than a match for the
Yang Wei, for he ordered the other
ehips to fall back, which they did. The
Yang Wei cleared for action, and took a
position about 1000 yards off the Mat
enehima's port bow and kept it.
. The Yang Wei is an unarmored steel
cruiser of 1350 tons displacement, and
was built in 1881 in England, at a cost of
$1,000,000. Her length is 210 feet, ajid
her speed 16 knots. Her armament con
sisted of one 10-inch 38-ton Armstrong
gun, one 9-inch 25-ton, six 5-inch, ten
Hotchkiss and six machine guns. The
Matsushima is an unarmored steel
cruiser of 4277 tons, built in France in
1890, and has a speed of 17 knots.
Her armament consisted of one 12-iur-h
45-ton Canet rifle, eleven 4-inch 56
pound quick-firing guns, eleven Hotch
kiss and six Nordenfeldt machine guns.
The 12-inch rifle was carried in a 12-inch
barbette. The Yang Wei was com
' manded by Captain Kwong Chow, but
Lieutenant Li Yang, who had spent
eight years at the Annapolis naval
academy, fought the ship. Says the
engineer, continuing his story :
"We continued our speed and drew
the Japanese admiral on, until we had
the Matsushima out of sight of the rest
of the fleet. We had run about forty
miles in the chase with the admiral's
flagship, when word was passed to again
stand ior action. Suddenly our star
board engine was . reversed full speed,
Ihe helm was put hard aport and the
Yang Wei spun around on her keel,
and gave the Matsushima a 10-inch
shell out of the 38-ton gun, which struck
her in the port bow and exploded in her
secondary armor battery. That shot
tore an enormous hole in her upper
deck, and disabled three of her guns.
It was the first gun of the war. Then
followed some of the cleverest maneu
vering on record. Orders poured into
the engine room thick and fast. We
rushed past the Matsushima on the re
turn and brought out three 6-inch guns
to play on her secondary battery, at the
same time covering her after guns with
a perfect stream of Hotchkiss 3-pound
shells and Nordenfeldt and Maxim bul
lets. "The Japanese could not work one of
their guns. The shower of bullets that
the Yang Wei poured into the port
holes of the other vessel rendered it im
possible for her gun crews to stay at
their posts. We had the Matsushima
badly crippled before we received a re
turn shot. We passed astern, and, as
our after 25-ton gun came to bear on her
after-barbette, where she had a 45-ton
gun, we gave her a' 9-inch shell. It
struck the barbette and exploded. We
immediately reversed our port engine,
and then went full speed astern on both.
The effect of this maneuver was to bring
our starboard battery to bear on her
starboard battery, and the Matsushima
received another telling blow in a vital
part. We gave out three 6-lnch star
board guns. The shells beat in the
after end of the starboard battery. Al
most at the same instant we received a
Choi? flr.TVl VtAW J.tnn afta. n T- ta r
the first shot she had been able to fire.
The shell struck the after-gun of our
secondary battery on the starboard side,
and exploded, fortunately not amidships,
but just as it was going out on the port
side. Then was a sickening scene on
the Yang W,ei. The explosion took out
our port after-gun and killed two of the
gun's crew. The shot also took out our
mainmast and ripped off the whole of
the port after-end of the upper deck.
The effect of the explosion downward
was to completely wreck the deck, A
jagged hole, fourteen feet in 'diameter,
was left in the deck. Broken timbers,
bent deck beams, torn steel plates and
mangled human bodies were piled up on
all sides. It was a sight to remember
for a lifetime."
Concluded in tomorrow's issue.
NO LONGER A SUSPICION.
Mary Cline, a middle-aged woman,
who has been hanging around the court
house in Portland bothering " various
officials for several days past, was locked
up by Sheriff Sears Tuesday night upon
suspicion that her mind is deranged.
She is apparently very anxious to wed,
and has made propositions of that nature
to all of the officers of the county court,
the only condition being that the man
who would accept her "heart and hand''
must have money. The woman is a
well-known character, and her persist
ent attentions finally became unbeara
ble. As far as can be ascertained, she
has no relatives to take care of her. ''
The woman's insanity is no longer a
matter If suspicion. Her desire to wed
a Multnomah county "official stamps her
mind as a dank and cheerless charnel
house of gloom, illumined by but one
faint glimmering ray of reason, the con
dition precedent that the man who gets
her must have money. It is interest
ing to study into the possible causes of
the poor demented creature's condition.
Who knows but that in the days of .her
innocent girlhood she observed that they
who . had much money, wore store
clothes, and, like the famous lilies of
Solomon, "toiled not, neither did they
spin," except behind a pair of fast
horses, were those whose lines fell in
pleasant places about the couithouso.
As time wore on the desire to capture
one of these gaudy butterflies, that she,
too, might become "a thing of beauty
and a joy forever," possessed her with
an all-consuming yearn, and so pursu
ing mentally the intangible, impalpable
and unreal, the last spark of reason fled.
The political situation in- our sister
state will soon be one of great excite
ment. Besides the many important
state and local issues which are to be
settled, a United States senator is to be
elected to fill the seat formerly occupied
by ex-Senator Allen. Many prominent
candidates will be in the race all sec
tions having a favorite. ' At this writing
it looks as if Levi Ankeney, the rich
bankerof Walla Walla, will be one if not
the leading candidate as regards votes.
A crisis is imminent in the civil affairs
of RuBsia. Today's dispatches indicate
the retirement of the czar from the white
throne of Russia. He has long been
known as the conserver of the peace of
Europe and while he lives his efforts will
still be towards that end. But should
his ailment prove fatal a new chapter
will be begun in the momentuous history
of European affairs.
A BETTER ATTENDANCE.
Concluded from Third Page,
warming up, seemed in the pink ot con
dition. Much delay was experienced in
starting. Four would generally get
away all right but one would lag behind
and spoil the start. Finally the word
was given and away they went all in a
bunch. As they rounded into the home
stretch Powder was in the lead and
seemed to have the race but Blue Jay
took the whip and forged ahead till they
came under the wire neck and neck, so
close together were they and to anyone
not directly in line with judge's stand
neither one seemed ahead.' The judges
decided in favor of N Blue Jay, much to
the satisfaction of those, who bought on
the field and to the chagrin of Powder's
backers. The order, of winning was
Blue Jay, Powder, Jim Crow, Grover
and Sir Henry, time 24 seconds. . The
mutuals paid $6. To all lovers of a good
race this performance gave great satis
faction. They were all out for blood
and not a shadow of doubt existed but
what every horse was urged to his best.
Right here it may be stated that a great
spirit of fairness mark the entire conduct
of the fair. There is no jockying nor
semblance of anything crooked and any
one who enjoys a contest of striving for
mastery, whether in man or brute, will
be well pleased with the races at this
season's fair.
The second event, was the mile
dash. Four horses were entered : Token,
I Don't Know, Chester G. and Volta.
In the mutuals I Don't Know sold as
the favorite, witn Token as sei-ond
choice. This race was also a very prettv
one and Bad the added merit of little de
lay at the post.- I Don't Know won by a
length, Token second, Volta third and
Chester G. at the rear; time, 1.05.
Volta finished eecond under the wire
but was set back to third place on
account of a foul. '
