Più nessuna illusione: in porto son giunto. Speranza e Fortuna non m'ingannano ormai. Nulla possiedo, ma in libertà io vivo. No, non amo i ricchi, dei poveri parassiti violenti.

Pallada was the lead ship in the Pallada class of protected cruisers in the Imperial Russian Navy. She was sister to cruiser Aurora. In August 1904 at the Battle of the Yellow Sea, after being struck by a torpedo, Pallada managed to make her way back to Port Arthur, and was thus unable to break through the Japanese blockade along with a number of other Russian cruisers. Her guns were removed to help strengthen the land defenses and most of her crew was reassigned to serve as infantry. Pallada was sunk by Japanese 11-inch siege howitzers on 8 December 1904. After the end of the war, the wreck of Pallada was raised and towed to Japan, where it was repaired and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy as a prize of war. Renamed Tsugaru, she served as a training vessel and later as a minelayer until decommissioned in 1922.

Hanno travasi di bile perfino formiche e zanzare e gli insetti più infimi, si dice. E alla mercé di chiunque tu vuoi ch’io stia senza bile, così da non rifarmi con parole verso chi compie ingiustizia coi fatti? Restare dovrei con la bocca cucita e senza fiato!
