At sunrise the Russian bat- tleshipx were off the Promontory of Harado, the cruisers in the center and three coast defense ironclads on the western line. At 10 o’clock im the morning they were west of the island of Tki. What may be told is that Admiral Togo, with remarkable reckoning as to the ememy’s movements, succeeded in bringing about a naval engagement in part at one of two points where he had planned it should take place.

From midnight on ‘Wednesday the direction in which Ro- jestvensky picked unerringly his course through the Straits “of Korea was known.
