There were many deeds of heroism ? during the five-hour-battle but the greatest praise of all belongs to Capt. Dabich of the Gromoboi, who remain? ed afc his post oakthe bridge from the beginning to the end of the fight. ? - , When wounded in the back* he per H sisfced in resuming command directly j the wound had been (tressed, ont : yielding to the entreaties of his officers ! he sought sheeter in the conning j tower. ?o sooner Jiad ?e entered than ? a shell struck the foot of the tower, glancing upward to the overhanging' cover and entered through the peep hole, killing a lieutenant and two quartermasters, wounding two lieu? tenants and again wonning -Cap?. Dabich in thejiead and breast.- Not . a single man in the tower escaped. There being no one to steer the ship - che captain severely wounded though he was, dragged himself to the wheel and managed it until another quarter? master ?ad been summoned.
