Attempt to Seize the "Wanlin." The 16 soldiers who were already on board made an attempt to seize the ship, but the officers managed to hold them of and the steamer continued on her way to Wanhsien. Here more soldiers came on board, but with the aid of the Cork chafer, the ship was cleared and went on to Changchow and Chunking, and al- though a telegram had apparently been sent to Changchow with an order that the ship should be held, it had not arrived by the time the steamer reached the port, and she sailed almost immediately to Chungking where she remained and still is.
