Near the island of Dazhelet, the Russian destroyers were spotted by the Japanese, who immediately rushed in pursuit. Increasing the speed, "Grozny" approached the "Bedovoy", from which followed the order to go to Vladivostok. To the question of the commander of "Grozny" why not to accept the battle, there was no answer. At that moment, the Japanese ships opened fire. "Grozny" began to move away from the enemy, and the destroyer "Bedovy" raised the Red Cross flag and a white flag.
In pursuit of "Grozny" the Japanese destroyer "Kagero" launched. In the battle that took place, both destroyers were damaged. As a result, the Japanese destroyer stopped the pursuit.

In battle, the destroyer did not fulfill its task and did not remove the crews from the dying battleships.
The next morning, the wounded Vice-Admiral Rozhestvensky with the headquarters was transferred to the "Bedovy" from the damaged "Buynoye". After that, the destroyer, together with the "Grozny", headed for Vladivostok. At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the Russian ships were overtaken by two Japanese destroyers. "Grozny" was ordered to break through to Vladivostok, and "Bedovy" himself decided to surrender.

Baranov and several other officers were found guilty of the criminal surrender of the destroyer "Troubled" to the Japanese and were sentenced to death penalty by firing squad, but with a petition from the court addressed to the emperor to replace the death penalty with imprisonment in a fortress for 10 years or even more mitigation of punishment.

In total, the "Wild" took on board 204 people, after which it came under fire from Japanese cruisers and was forced to stop rescuing the battleship's crew.
After returning to the squadron on "Buinom" they noticed a burning Russian ship. It turned out to be the flagship battleship "Prince Suvorov". Under enemy fire, the "Wild" on a strong swell approached the windward side of the battleship. Every minute the destroyer's fragile hull could be crushed against the Suvorov's armor. Nevertheless, the destroyer removed Z.P. from the dying battleship. Rozhdestvensky with part of his headquarters.
In the morning, "Buyny" linked up with the destroyers "Bedov" and "Grozny". By this time, cars were seriously damaged on it and there was not enough coal.

At the same time, "Bravy" was hit by a 203-mm projectile, which inflicted severe damage on the ship. The destroyer killed nine people, including five - from the crew of the "Oslyabi", six people were seriously injured.
By the evening, the damaged destroyer lagged behind the squadron, and it was decided on an independent breakthrough to Vladivostok. In order to make the ship less conspicuous, the mast was cut down on the destroyer and the pipes were painted with chalk. On the way, the coal came to an end: all the wood was sent to the furnace.
On the morning of May 30, Bravy found itself out of fuel a few dozen miles from Vladivostok. Spark telegraph helped. Moreover, the radius of its action was increased with the help of a kite raised above the ship. "Bravy" began to send signals received at the Vladivostok radio station. A destroyer with coal was sent to meet him. "Bravy" became one of the three ships of the squadron that reached Vladivostok.

In total, 22 team members were killed in the battle and 6 team members were wounded. Considering that the ship was doomed, Istomin transferred the crew to the transport "Anadyr" and other ships of the squadron.

Admiral Togo visits Vice Admiral Z.P. Rozhdestvensky in the hospital
Did Rozhdestvensky regret anything?
On March 8, 1906, having already returned to Russia and being dismissed from the naval service, he wrote:
“If I had even a spark of civil courage, I should have shouted to the whole world: Take care of the last resources of the fleet! Don't send him to extermination! But I didn't have the spark I needed. By the disgrace of the Tsushima battle, I eclipsed all the disgraces of the armies and fleets. The Russian people cursed me ... "

An excerpt characterizing Bedovy (destroyer)
A week later, Prince Andrei was a member of the commission for drawing up military regulations, and, which he had never expected, head of the department of the commission for drawing up wagons. At Speransky's request, he took the first part of the civil code being drawn up and, with the help of the Code Napoleon and Justiniani, [the Code of Napoleon and Justinian,] worked on the compilation of the department: Rights of Persons.Two years ago, in 1808, returning to Petersburg from his trip to the estates, Pierre unwittingly became the head of Petersburg Freemasonry. He set up dining rooms and funeral boxes, recruited new members, took care of the unification of various lodges and the acquisition of authentic acts. He gave his money for the construction of a temple and replenished, as much as he could, alms, to which most of the members were stingy and sloppy. He almost alone supported the poor house, arranged by the order in St. Petersburg, at his own expense. Meanwhile, his life went on as before, with the same enthusiasm and licentiousness. He loved to dine and drink well, and although he considered it immoral and humiliating, he could not refrain from the amusements of the bachelor societies in which he participated.
In the child of his studies and hobbies, Pierre, however, after a year, began to feel that the soil of Freemasonry on which he stood was leaving from under his feet, the harder he tried to stand on it. At the same time, he felt that the deeper the soil on which he stood went under his feet, the more involuntarily he was bound to it. When he started Freemasonry, he felt the feeling of a man trustingly placing his foot on the flat surface of a swamp. Putting his foot down, he fell through. In order to be fully convinced of the firmness of the soil on which he stood, he put his other foot and fell even more, got stuck and already involuntarily walked knee-deep in the swamp.
Joseph Alekseevich was not in St. Petersburg. (He is in Lately retired from the affairs of the Petersburg lodges and lived without a break in Moscow.) All the brothers, members of the lodges, were familiar to Pierre in life and it was difficult for him to see in them only brothers in stonemasonry, and not Prince B., not Ivan Vasilyevich D., whom he in life he knew for the most part as weak and insignificant people. From under the Masonic aprons and signs, he saw on them uniforms and crosses, which they sought in life. Often, collecting alms and counting 20-30 rubles registered for the parish, and for the most part in debt from ten members, half of whom were as rich as he was, Pierre recalled the Masonic oath that each brother promises to give his all property for a neighbor; and doubts arose in his soul, on which he tried not to dwell.
He divided all the brothers he knew into four categories. To the first category he ranked brothers who do not take an active part either in the affairs of the lodges or in human affairs, but are exclusively engaged in the mysteries of science of the order, busy with questions about the triple name of God, or about the three principles of things, sulfur, mercury and salt, or about the meaning square and all the figures of the Temple of Solomon. Pierre respected this category of brothers of Masons, to which mainly the old brothers belonged, and Joseph Alekseevich himself, in Pierre's opinion, but did not share their interests. His heart did not lie to the mystical side of Freemasonry.
Pierre ranked himself and brothers of his own kind in the second category, seeking, hesitating, not yet finding a direct and understandable path in Freemasonry, but hoping to find it.
He ranked the brothers in the third category (they were the most big number), who see nothing in Freemasonry except for the external form and rituals and value the strict execution of this external form, not caring about its content and meaning. Such were Vilarski and even the great master of the main lodge.
Finally, a large number of brothers were also included in the fourth category, especially those who recently entered the fraternity. These were people, according to Pierre's observations, who did not believe in anything, did not want anything, and who entered Freemasonry only to get closer to young brothers, rich and strong in connections and nobility, of whom there were very many in the box.
Pierre began to feel dissatisfied with his activities. Freemasonry, at least the Freemasonry that he knew here, seemed to him sometimes, was based on one appearance. He did not even think to doubt Freemasonry itself, but he suspected that Russian Freemasonry had gone down the wrong path and deviated from its source. And therefore, at the end of the year, Pierre went abroad to initiate himself into the highest secrets of the order.
