He was the very heart of Russian aggression at Port Arthur. Up to the time of his assuming direction the Russian warships crouched shivering under the guns at Port Arthur waiting for tbs renewal of the Jspancee intermittent attacks and when they cams spluttered back in a blind way. In place of thia Admiral Makaroff actually resumed the offeneive. On the eight of March 10th he sent six torpedo boats to sea to look for the Japanese warships. These met the enemy and maintained a hot fight, each side losing Admiral boats foundering torpedo boat. Observing ona of his torpedo Makaroff went out with two cruisers to face the entire Japanese fleet, but was too late to be of aeaitanee. Such action ia a perfect index of hit work ince, infusing new life into the dry bones of the port. nt Jap Fleet Attacks Port But Is Forced to Retire ST.
