the darkness, but when dawn appeared, at 3.45, the gunboats, led at first by the Algerine and afterwards by the Iltis, steamed down the river and took up a position close under the N.-W. Fort. A single well-timed shell would have utterly destroyed any one of the six vessels, but Chinese gunnery was once more at fault. The naval guns soon mastered the heavy and modern weapons on the Forts, and before 5 a.m. the two landing parties had rushed the North-West Fort, and then proceeded along the causeway to the large North Fort at the river mouth. This was also escaladed and its great guns turned against the two fortifications on the South side of the river at close range. The whole affair was finished before 6 a.m.-a large number of Chinese dead testifying to the accuracy of the Allies' fire. Four Chinese torpedo-boat destroyers were captured with conspicuous bravery by the British torpedo-boat destroyers Whiting and Fame and distributed amongst the Allies. The demolition of the Forts was effected during 1901-2.

PEI-TAI-HO AND CHINWANGTAO
Peitaiho continues to expand. There are now five associations, namely, Rocky Point Association, East Cliff Association, Temple Bay Association, Lighthouse Point Association, and the Kung I Hui.
