of rioters who might attempt to board, and was defended by the repeating rifics of Captain Lewis, Mr. Moore and Mr. Grouleff. Right down to the river bank the orphans in the Convent had clung to the sisters, but here they were violently seized by the soldiers and kept back. It is suspected that a number of children must have been burned in the Convent; one unable to walk, could not have escaped. On reaching the Paohua the sisters presented a pitiable sight their long robes being covered with blood, and one has been so badly wounded that she is uil anable to rise. Father Braun, who acted nobly throughout, shielding the sisters with his own person, has received a very severe cut on the hend, not to mention contusions and braises all over the body.

From the Convent the rioters made a rush to the river front and went tearing down the Band, the ringleaders armed with pickaxes and kniver, the rest with such weapons as they could lay their hands on.

Down the lane at the end of the Consolite, and along the street in front of they swept with the violence of a tropical storm, but not a finger was lifted against the Consulate. The house, owned by a native-a mandarin's secretary-in which the Rev. Mr. Deans and Dr. Pirie of the Church of Scotland Mission Hired; Capt. Cain's bouse (empty), the mat shed in front of Morts Jardine, Matheron & Co.'s godown, Mr. Creagh's boure Inhabited by Dr. Aldridge of the Customs, and the Franciicin Mission wire fired sinal taneously. The pickaxes made short work of the doors, and no time was wasted by the slightest attempt to loot. Mr. Cockburn was in

boat on the river with 50 yards of the scene and saw the whole thing dens with a quickness and precision which left no room to doubt that all bad been planned beforehand and that each man, knew exacly what to do, a conclusion which is forced home by the mallness of the number of the active Roters; not over fifty at the outside, and the strange coincidence that no attempt whatever was made to burn Mr. Cockburn's own boose, which adjoins Messrs. Jardine Matheson & Ca's on the one side and Dr. Aldridge's on the other. This is what took place at one house, and is substantially what took place at all; as soon as the door was stased in, the bay was seized and at the risk of his life asked to polut out where the foreigner kept his silver He keeps none, but changes Hanker cheques, at the native cash shops."

But it is time to tell how it fared with the residents about whom you have not already heard.

Mr. Cockburn brought off Mrs. Roberts, and daughter with his own family to the steamer, and immediately rel umed to see if he could carry from his house a few things of epecial value that can never be replaced. He was too late ; but succeeded in getting an excellent view of what actually took place. Seeing numbers of soldiers mixed in the crowd he insisted on the boatman putting him ashare, frellag confident he would be protected from personal violence. The reply he got was " Soldiers will not strike soldiers."

The plans were well laid, and, what is far more difficult to recure, the ringleaders. kept perfect command all through the proceedings. As has been remarked, Messrs.

A petition was also made that Mr. Cockbum's house might be spared as it adjoined the godown and the one would set fire in the other. A Mandarin was alto | in Mr. Cockburn's compound vociferating: "Dodate three Chinese entered the Scotch Mission. not burn Mr. Cockburn's house, you all know him, he has been here over ten years and does works of charity (hop-ze); take anything you want, but do not burn his house." Some sinologue may be able to explain whether it be more honourable to have one's good stolen this burned as being too vile for a Chinaman too handle. One fact is clear; the original phu was to loot and not to burn the house of the Revi, Mr. Cockburn, the Church of Scotland Mission, with the celerity with which all other were fired by the ringleaden, who camed kerosene and gunpowder along with them. All entreaties to spare it came too lite.

As for the Consulate, a native building belonging to Mr. Little, It was never attacked, and the Conen! remaired lude in perfeci security. No patence of protecting it by soldiers was made until all was over.
