"The Japanese losses in the battle of the Sea of Japan were 113 officers and men killed and 424 officers and men wounded. The completion of the revised list shows that the losses were fewer than the original estimates. The flagship _Mikasa_ was the heaviest loser, losing 63 killed and wounded. The losses were distributed among the ships of the fleet as follows: _Mikasa_, 63; _Adzuma_, 39; _Shikishima_, 37; _Asashi_, 31; _Fuji_, 28; _Idzuma_, 26; _Nisshin_, 27; _Otowa_, 26; _Kasaga_, 26; _Tsushima_, 19; _Asama_, 15; _Naniwa_, 17; _Tokiwa_, 15; _Yakumo_, 11; _Chitose_, 6; _Idzumi_, 10; _Kasaga_, 9; _Hashidate_, 5; _Niitaka_, 4." The casualties on the destroyers and the torpedo boats were 87. Commander Togo was wounded on the _Adzuma_. Admiral Togo concluded his series of reports with this absolutely accurate statement of the ships that had escaped, in the main a remarkable feat, when the conditions of alternating fog and sunshine and the natural confusion among the Russians is taken into account. "The Russian vessels present in the recent battle which were not sunk or captured and which are unaccounted for are," Togo's report adds, "the protected cruisers _Oleg_, _Aurora_, _Izumrud_ and _Almas_, three transports, two torpedo boat destroyers and one towboat. During the battle the _Oleg_ and _Aurora_ were within range of our third and fourth squadrons and were on fire. They may have escaped, but it will take time to restore their fighting power." A Japanese officer described the battle more connectedly in the following words: [Sidenote: Your Utmost for the Empire] "At 5.30 Saturday morning a wireless message, reading, 'The enemy's squadron is in sight,' reached the naval base. This message was transmitted to all our ships by the flagship, with instructions to get ready for action. Our squadron left their rendezvous and headed for the eastern channel off Tsushima. Our men seemed to be filled with new inspiration, and were eager for the long-delayed fight to begin. "When Tsushima was sighted to the southwest the sea was rough and the torpedo boats were forced to run for the shelter of the island. Our third fighting squadron, with the _Takashiho_ to port, reconnoitred the Russian course, and at 11.30 A. M. informed the main squadron by wireless telegraph that the Russian ships were passing into the east channel, whereupon our main squadron, changing its course somewhat to the southward, came in sight of Okinshima at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The third division arrived later and joined the main squadron. The first and second divisions, accompanied by the destroyer flotilla, changed to a westerly course, while the third division and the fourth destroyer flotilla headed slightly eastward.
