Footing the bill for all this was one of the leading squash racquet and polo players in the U. S., Seymour Horace Knox. Son of a Woolworth partner and a potent investment banker in his own right, Poloist Knox has a burning ambition to make East Aurora and the Buffalo district as famed for polo as Long Island.

By that time they were in such a fatalistic frame of mind that the battle was almost a relief. Rozhestvensky's plan was rigidly simple-to force his column, battleships in the lead, through the Straits of Tsushima, head for Vladivostok. Since Togo's average speed was six knots faster, he had no trouble heading off the Russian column, kept pounding each leading...
