Captain Skalsky of the St. Petersburg came aboard, and was received by a guard of honour. He stated he had arrived on the previous day, owing to stress of weather, and had not taken coal aboard, nor communicated with anybody. Only one steamer had been searched owing to stress. The Smolensk had only 300 tons of coal, having cruised off the Cape for a month in continuous bad weather. Captain Dundas, commanding the Forte, replying, impressed upon Captain Skalsky the necessity of a prompt departure. Captain Skalsky was most courteous, and announced he was leaving forthwith. The St. Petersburg saluted with 21 guns, and the salute was returned, and Captain Dundas returned the visit. After Captain Dundas’s departure the St. Petersburg and Smolensk proceeded south. The Forte remained watching. ... [But] for the Forte's visit the Smolensk would have coaled at Zanzibar.
