Note 4 — Chapter XXI · JAPAN. CIVIL WAR
Reading edition
The dates were very much confused by the various newspapers, some of which give the 11th for Admiral Bell’s catastrophe. They are correctly given here. I have submitted the account to Admiral Sir Henry Stephenson and he confirms my account in every detail. Herr von Brandt gives the date of Admiral Bell’s loss as the 8th, which is right, but he says our adventure took place a few days earlier, which is wrong.
