The Orel re- ceived c ceived a terrible battering. flet• hull shows forty gaping holes, pierced by largo shells, and many smaller, where she had been bit, while the superstructure, her upper works and upper "lecke were riddled by shells, steel fragments and s{,linters. The starboard forward 12 -inch gun was sioaohed ten feet from the muzzle, either by shell or by explosion. A fragment of the gun went over the bridge, smashand smashing the rail, after carrying away the breech of a 12 - pounder, buried itself in the signal locker. From the !main deck upward the condition of the vessel was ter- rible to behold. Steel partitions were Smashed, the gangway was broken, and stanchions wrecked. Gear of various kinds covered the decks, and the state of tho alley- ways shows that the ship was afire several tithes. 'the !nark of the fames inereaged the scene of desola- tion. The tonin armor belt is In- tact. The turret armor generally withstood the battering front shells, although two of the 6 -inch turrets were rendered unserviceable by shots which struck close to their base. Sev- eral smaller guns were dismounted and smashed. A gruesome sight was a bulkhead bespattered with blood, fragments of flesh and hair. The Orel is sound structurally, al- though it will be necessary to prac-. tically reconstruct her from the waterline 1111.
