In 7 hour. 10 minutes The highest passengers with a retinue went ashore, where a special train was waiting for them at the harbor embankment. In 7 hour. 25 min. The train started moving. I conducted THEIR IMPERATIVE HIGHLIGHTS from the harbor to the train station, where the cars occupied by them were attached to the express train going to Vienna.
28-th in 6 hour. The 30 minutes into the morning came the Austrian cruiser Kaiser Karl VI under the flag of the full Admiral. At 8, the hours exchanged fireworks with him and at the same time sent with congratulations the Flag Officer, who on his return informed that Admiral MONTEKULI was on the cruiser. After ½ hours, an Austrian officer arrived on the "Cesarevich" with a return visit, who reported that the Admiral was on the coast and would return around 10 hours. Since there were no hours at 10, and I had previously agreed to go ashore to visit the coast, I went to the city with Flag Captain, accompanied by the Consul. Visited the Head of the Academy and the Marine Station Counter Admiral Edler von Kunsti, the Sea Governor and the Mayor. I returned about II ½ hours. At II o'clock 45 minutes arrived to us with a return visit to the Governor and at the same time returned to the Austrian cruiser Admiral. After the departure of the Governor and the salute to him, in 12 hours with the Flag-Captain and the Commander of the "Cesarevich" went on a visit to the Austrian cruiser. I was met on the ramp by the Headquarters Officer, who said that the Admiral could not accept me, as he was having breakfast and his guests. At this time music played on the shkanzah, but not a march, but some aria did not stop playing even when the boat landed on the ramp. When I rolled off, I was not fired. Upon returning to the ship, I ordered during the return visit of Admiral MONTEKULI to say that I was not at home, not to call the music and not to produce the salute. At about 3 hours to the ladder on the motorboat arrived Admiral MONTEKULI. He was met at the bottom of the flag-captain ladder and told me that I was not at home. The admiral asked me to convey that he had not saluted me, since there was rest during my visit, and asked him not to salute. After waiting for the salute before sunset and not receiving it, and knowing that the cruiser was going to leave at night, I sent the Flag Captain to his Commander or the Flag-Captain, if there was one, with a statement that I had not received the salute. The flag-captain found the cruiser ready to leave in half an hour, but the Commander was still on the shore, and therefore he handed over my order to the Senior Officer with a request to inform him of the subsequent order through an officer. After ½ hours, an officer arrived from the cruiser and said that the cruiser remained until morning and would make a salute at 8 hours.
August 29 th in 8 hours of the morning the Austrian cruiser made a salute in 13 shots with the rise of the Russian flag on the fore-sténgue, then withdrew from the anchor and left.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon 30-th coal ship I came from Souda, a coal coal mine that I called from there, chartered for the detachment with 4000 tons of cardiff coal, and after completing the port formalities immediately went to Admiral Makarov. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, “Admiral Makarov” began loading coal and by 2 at night it received 500 tons.
31-th in 6 o'clock in the morning coal miner approached the "Tsarevich", which immediately began to take coal from it. At 3, the cruiser “Admiral Makarov” released the court in the hour of the day after saying goodbye to his personnel.
During both stops in the Fiyme, due to the inconvenience of receiving water from the shore on the boats and the lack of local water-filled vessels, steam aquarius, which came both times from Paula, was placed at my disposal free of charge.
For the month of August every day, except for the period of celebrations in Montenegro, classes were conducted both with students by non-commissioned officers, and with ship's midshipmen. The state of health of officers, naval midshipmen and crews is satisfactory.

So, the terrible squadron of the Austrians and dissolved like smoke, no one, without undressing at the guns, did not sleep, nobody opened the cameras, no shells attacked the guns, was not going to die for the flag. Just two admirals have a little quarrel - well, sometimes. And you see what some “writers” have made of this, what they have turned this fact into. Well, in conclusion I would like to say that our Russian story and so glorious and feats, and examples of service of honor and duty, so that without even looking at the available archival documents, lie shamelessly about her, and even spread this lie in Wikipedia, and so disgrace yourself and your great country all white light!
