night I managed to reach Suikaw at

was the saddest procession ever form

gunners to Suikaw by our orders and
had impressed four native boats for US.
We left for Foo Chow IN the afternoon
On the morning of the 4th we met

months have passed. Early IN July
last several hundred attacked q vii
lage near Ku Cheng and killed and
wounded several natives not Christians
"The never punished viceroy Of the
province sent to Ku Cheng a small
force OF 200 soldiers to assist the local
authorities in settling with several
thousand determined savages. 1t was
a mere farce and the local officers
were unable to do anything, but they
