I think this question had some options, but the option that are these statements:
1. When Russian ships quickly bore down on the cruiser, the captain of the tranded ship immediately did what all naval officers were taught to do: he ordered his signalman to bring him the ship's codebook so he could throw the book, wrapped in lead covers, into the sea.
2. When the Russians recovered his body, the sailor was still clutching the codebook in his arms.
I hope that these statements are between your options.
Hope it helps!
