CAPTURE OF THE JUNK FORCES IN THE FATiIHA)I
CKFIEK,
The Raleigh Tender, Sir Charles Forbes,
Canton River, June 2, 1857.
Sir, —ln accordance with your Excellency's pre-
vious arrangements for the capture and destruction
of the mandarin junks at anchor in the Fatsham
and adjacent branches of the Canton River, I have
the honour to inform you that yesterday morning
as soon as I perceived the first division ascending
the heights for the Capture fort commanding the
approaches to the enemy's position, I advanced in
the Hong Kong steamer with the second, third,
and fourth divisions, which you were pleased to
place under my command.
The Hong Kong having grounded shortly after-
wards, we advanced with the boats, reserving our
fire until within 600 yards of the enemy, when a
sharp and spirited engagement ensued, the enemy
continuing their fire until, our men were close
alongside.
Leaving the Third and Fourth Divisions to secure
the prizes, we pushed forward up to the Fatsham
Branch, in which direction I shortly afterwards
observed the mast heads of other war junks.
