The British Commander, himself'a Paladin in honour and courage, was stirred to the moet. passionate resentment by this deed; breaking off all intercourse with L wid his associates, he retired to hip head- quarters at the city of Quinsan, twenty miles fom Seochow, and seriously me ditated attacking with his disciplined. force the victorions Imperialists, and wreaking upon the perficious Li Hung- chang condign vengeance for the treach ery which he burned to show the world had been perpetrated without his know. ledge.
