100 THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR
Japanese was most disastrous, and time after time
enabled the Russians to beat off their attacks,
inflicting severe losses. Nothing can stand
against them, and it is no wonder that the
Japanese fear them, and that even the bravest
have a chilly creeping down their backs, when the
enemy’s machine guns commence to beat their
devil’s tattoo. They shoot with an amazing pre-
cision, even at very long range, and they were
splendidly served.
The Russian machine guns are 8 millimetre
calibre, the Japanese 6’5 millimetre. The latter
are the Hotchkiss patent, mostly manufactured at
Tokyo Arsenal; the former, it may be of interest
to note, are supplied by Messrs. Vickers, Sons
& Maxim, London.
