Yesterday afternoon a party of disbanded Henan soldiers, seven in number, paid us a visit at our offices, and declined to go when ordered to do so. Their determined men made us feel very uncomfortable and it was a long time before we could get rid of them. We can only ask ourselves at the moment, are these annoyances to continue? We shall not be surprised to hear of these loafers visiting some of the foreign hongs.

It was Peter's first act of rebellion, and it was made at a most injudicious moment.
