“This volume is not without merit, and Mrs. Colquhoun Grant knows a good deal about her subject and tells her story in a not unpleasing style.”

Grant, Robert F. S., tr. Before Port Arthur in a destroyer: the personal diary of a Japanese officer; tr. from the Spanish ed. *$3. Dutton.
A version made from a Spanish translation of a Japanese original. “The narrative takes in a period of something less than a year: January 26th, 1904–January 4th, 1905. The most animated part of it is the story of the boarding of a Russian ship early in March.” (Spec.)
“The book does not read like a naval officer’s diary of operations in which he took the part described, so that we cannot extend to naval students our recommendation of the value, readable as is the spirited narrative of war.”
