Excerpt from With Togo: The Story of Seven Months Active Service Under His Command So many books dealing with the war in the Far East have been published during the past year, that an addition to the list will, no doubt, be thought by many to be unnecessary. But although the public has been provided with many war books, these have all chronicled the operations of the armies, and have given little or no information regarding the naval side of the war. The Japanese authorities were not easily persuaded to let correspondents join the armies in the field, but for a correspondent to obtain permission to go aboard the warships and sail with the fleet seemed an impossibility. It was my good fortune to achieve the apparently impossible, for I served on one or other of Admiral Togo's ships from August, 1904, until last February. It was a privilege that was extended to no other correspondent, and, indeed, to no other foreigner save the British naval attaches, who were the only representatives of foreign powers so privileged.
