Our artillery concentrated fire upon the enemy's trenches, our infantry advancing within 400 to 500 metres of the enemy, but wire entan glements, mines, and trenches lay before us, and the enemy's infantry fire and^ machine« guns remained unabated. We approached 200 metres further towards the enemy, several charges still proving unsuccessful, our officers and men all failing when 20 or 30 metres from the enemy. Our artillery then prepared for firing, and in the evening, with the most severe cannomading, the last charge was made. With great difficulty we opened the breach through which we gained the whole height and expelled the enemy, capturing all their guns on the forts. The fortunate incident of this attack was the discovery of a mine, attached to a wire, at the eastern foot of Nanshan. We cut the wire and ex-

The last spout, however, travelled at an estimated speed of six knots an hour, and the upward spiral motion of the water was very distinct.

From the report made by the junk-men on arrival in Hongkong on Saturday night it appears that the junk, laden with fire-wood, left Canton on Friday, and proceeded down the river. When about twenty miles had been made, a boat appeared laden with armed men, one of whom called upon the junk to stop. This the junk master refused to do, but made all speed to get away. Seeing this the men in the boat fired several shots, but w thout doing any harm at first, while the men in the junk, seizing chunks of fire-wood, did some gord work in their own defence, as they prevented the boat getting near enough for the men to board the junk, but the pursuers kept up a hot fire, eventually killing the master of the junk, and shoting the steersman through the right
