squadron of ten Chinese gunboats on the
River Min These were Differed by Euro
peans, and the Chinese gunners served their
pieces well, but the caliber of the guns was

ON the Chinese boats, a pitiless rain of
iron was kept up. In vain the Chinese
craft steamed hither and thither. One by
one they went down with great gaping holes
gunboats had sunk, with the dragon flag
still flying The remainder were captured

ard nightfaIl several detachments of sailors
and marines landed without opposition. The
Chinese batteries were deserted, and the place
was in the hands of the French. No advance
was attempted on the city of Foo Chow itself.
The French fleet cannot ascend the river any
