During the battle both the Tche Yuen and Kuang Chi ran away. The first
reached Port Arthur, and her captain was beheaded; the other ran ashore
at Talienwan, and remained there till she was found on the 23rd by the
Naniwa and Akitsushima, which destroyed her. The Yang Wei was finished
by a spar torpedo on the 18th.
The remaining Chinese ships reached Port Arthur without adventure, and
“victory” was celebrated by the draping of all guns, save those of the
Tche Yuen, in red. They refitted very slowly.[25]
[25] Some of the dead were not removed for a fortnight.
The Japanese, on the other hand, kept the sea, repairing ships—except
the Matsushima—in secluded bays. The least damaged cruisers watched
Port Arthur and Wei-hai-wei.
On October 20th the Chinese were all repaired, and went to Wei-hai-wei,
whence Admiral Ting meanwhile cruised aimlessly; but no action took
place, and on November 7th he returned to Wei-hai-wei. Here the Chen
Yuen ran ashore while entering harbour, and did not get off for three
weeks. She was not repaired till the middle of January, a great hole in
her bottom having to be mended. This was done with cement.
Meanwhile the Japanese, ignoring Ting, concentrated efforts on Port
Arthur, the Lao Tung Peninsula being invaded while the Japanese fleet
lay blockading the enemy in Wei-hai-wei. On the 20th he returned to
Port Arthur, leaving a few cruisers to watch Ting, and the rest of the
fleet took part in the fighting there.
