Comments - Fantastic scene of a naval battle taking place at night during the Sino-Japanese War. A Chinese ship at left is engulfed in flames as smoke billows across the deep blue sky. Sailors abandon ship, climbing down a rope ladder to a waiting boat as other small boats filled with passengers row away. In the center, another Chinese ship sinks beneath the choppy waves. A Japanese warship enters the scene at right, with a Japanese gun boat just below with torpedo tubes facing off the bow of the ship. A dramatic illustration with rich color, nicely detailed with burnishing in the black ships.
