Lorking next in front of us, it was evident that Pegs which had decorated the parapets_zo brilliantly at the outset were now rapidly dis -appearing, and as their tops could be seen moving across the country in the distance, it was manifest that the Imperialists were in full retreat. The shelling of the camps had continued for about half an hour, when word was passed to the skirmishers to fall in with the main body for a charge the front. I must say I thought this was a bad move. I was very comfortable where I was, and much interested In watching the movements of our unexpected allies, the rebels. It was evident that the Im perialists were running away as fast as they could, and it appeared to me the best plan to let them do so quietly. However, orders most be abeyed, and we of the skirmishing party had to to take hold of the ropes and help drag forward the guns. The order was given to Charge! and away we all went at a round trot, hurrahing ne if it were the greatest fun imaginable, straight for the Defence Creek and the fortified camp on the other side. As is the case at the present day, there was then a gentle rise from aue posi- tion to the creek, ard the parapets beyond were six or seven feet high, so that it was impossible to see what was going og behind them. Thas far. I had not seen any of the enemy nor had 1 head a single thot from the works, but though it was evhleat the foc were in full retreat. I thought it probabl that a rear». guard sufficient o deal with us might have been left behind. As we advanced with our glad hurrahs, the th magh occurred to me that we could not reach the defences in front, which were evidently tan rbcrive of our commander, with out wading was deep through the creek, and, this prospect of a coli mut bath, with perhaps a taste of aid std at last as we crawled up the apposite hink, was not particularly attractive. However I thought" for a penny in for a pound," and continued my cheers with the rest. Now at length we neared the precipitous bank of the creek, mad I prepared myself by a pre liminary shiver for the cold plung: I expected to make the next instant, when suddenly the order Hall was given and echoed by several voices. At once it flashed through my mind that our gallant old kommseder thought it was all plain sailing right up to the foot of the parapet, and was entirely ignorant of the existence of the little obstacle that now confronted us in the Defence Creek with about four feet of mud jie water. It also occurred to me that if any of the enemy were behind those works, we were in an lextremely awkward plight, as we were not more than fifteen or twenty feet from them. At the same instant the air became lively with the ping, ping, ping, of bullets, and turning round to see what others seemed to think of it, I found a blue- jacket Jving curled up just behind me, and hearing one sailor remark to another "Poor fellow, he has lost the number of his mess," realised what had harpened to him. Next there was G. G. Gray, of Russell & Co., being carried off with a bullet through each leg, and a marine close by with his face covered with blood. At the same time I saw many of the party executing a flask move- ment to the left, leaping a ditch on the side of the course, and seeking the friendly shelter of the grave mounds. A glance was sufficient to show me the wisdom of this movement, and with- out waiting for special orders I executed it my- self as rapidly as possible. The mound which sheltered me was close to the verge of the creek, And I found therma lieutenant of the Plymouth. We crawled to near the top of the mound, from which we could look over the para. pels in front, and I saw only one Chinaman and could not see indications of the pre- sence of any

day they remained completely hidden behind the walls of their camps, so much so that I saw only one of them, though I had the best possible' opportunities for observation

My own opinion has ever been that to the unexpected co-operation of the rebels, of whom their beslegers had a moral dread, we were chiefly indebted for our easy victory, and that had it not been for them the result for us would have been disastrous. The only other explana- tion of the passiveness shown by the Imperialists is that, their General may have concluded that he had made a mistake in nat 'acceding to the demand of the Consuls when he saw the threat made by them was not an empty one, and that the foreign force was preceeding to attack his camps, and fearing the complications which might arise in consequence he may bave ordered his soldiers to withdraw without resistance. That 10,000 men strongly-entrenched should have given way to three hundred, not half of whom knew anything about fighting, seems incredible, if resistance had been really intended. As for the men engaged in the affair, their behaviour was unexceptionable throughout. Most of the residents who participated in it were men of intelligence and quite as competent to form a correct opinion na to the expediency of the step as those whose official, position gave them the power to take it; and not a few were of opinion that the circumstances of the case were not such as to warrant a resort to auch extreme measures,, involving the gravest risk Whatever may to the afety of the settlement have been, their opinions, however, none held back when the attack had bee decided upon, though all must have realised very keenly the serious danger to which they were commit.. ted, and the Shanghai Volunteers particu larly were entitled to the greatest credit for the leading part they took in to affair. Their flinke ing march was a perilous enterprise, as it took

While all this was going on the English were by no eans idle. After shelling the camps from their position, a portion of their force, including the volunteers, was detached to make a détour and attack the enemy in flank; and following up a creek at the north of the Horse Bazaar, they crossed some distance further up, and marching across country with little if any opposition, from the Aying Imperialists, took possession of the abandoned camps in front of us. As for the works to the left, including the mud forts and the entrenchments extending to Tungkadoo, they were captured and occupied by the rebels, Thinking all was now over, our party marched along the Race-course to the old Grand Stand, just opposite where the Horse Bazaar is, but hardly had we reached that point when the sir again became alive with sound, but this time of screaming shet, and once more we had to seek the best cover obtainable. These missiles, we learned afterwards, came from the junks which had escaped up the creek in the morning, and anchored off the present Gas-works. Their crews fired broadsides of shotted guns at us, and then, jumping overboard, all swam ashore and retreated to positions of safety. Soon after this episode the English party joined us and together we marched back to the settlement, many of the sailors decked with strings of cash and other spoils which they had secured.. The general feeling however was not one of unalloyed satisfaction. The Imperialists had been driven from their camps, Is true, and thus far the abject of the expedition had been achieved, but it had been at a considerable ancrifice' of life on ogr ide. Then our success had not been accom plished single-handed, as the rebels had been an important 1ctor in the result, Indeed I have often doubted if the Imperialists would have left their camps at all, 'except perhaps in dur immediate front, had it not been for their unexpected assistance. Then again the Impe rialist force was estimated at 10,000 fighting Iden, and it seemed not at all unlikely that they would return and attack the settlement as soon as they're covered from what "must have been to them a great wurprise. I doubt very much if many of them were killed, as our shells appeared orange too high, exploding a long way in

it.
