In addition to the above, eight steamers were captured, but were released on examination. It may also be noted that the hospital ship Orel, taken in the battle of the Sea of Japan, has been declared a prize of war, and that three steamers have been raised—namely, the Sungari at Chemulpo and the Angara and Kazan at Port Arthur. Thus far, therefore, there have been added to the Japanese mercantile marine 59 vessels with an aggregate displacement of over 110,000 tons.
