FOUGHT SIDE BY SIDE.
American and British Sailors Were
Allies Before the Samoan Trouble.

The joint American and British eXpedi-
ton in the Island of Samoa recently, for ahe
purpose of coercing the natives, has given
currency to the statement, asserted by so
respectable an authority the London
Times, that this was the first time the mill
tary forces of the two countries had been
united since the pre-revolutionary wars.
On at least one former occasion American
and British sailors marched and fought side
by side against common enemy. 1t was
in April, 1854, at Shanghai, China, at the
time of Perry's second expedition to Japan.
The United States Sloop-of-war Plymouth
had been left behind at Shanghai TO protect
American interests there, while the rest
of the squadron proceeded to the Bay of
Toxic The province in which Shanghai is
situated was at that time in revolt against
the government, and the imperialist and
revolutionary forces operating near the city
frequently came into collision. In the dis
trict occupied by the contending forces civil
authority was paralyZed, the rights of for
egnerS diSregarded and their persons even
subjected to violence, the imperialists being
the chief offenders. Their aggressions at
length became so hagrant As to compel the
interference of the commanders of both the
English and American men-of-war in the
harbor on behalf of their respective coun-
trynaen. On one occasion an American
pilot boat was captured by an imperialist
war vessel, but was calamity retaken from
the midst of the Chinese feet by Lieut..
Guest and a boats c. ew from the Plymouth.
The outrageS upon English and American
residents ashore continuing with Increasing
enormty, with no show of protection from
the authorities. the commanders of ...e En-
glish and American ships in consultation
decided that the seVerest measures were
demanded, and determined TO make COM
bined attack upon the Chinese encampment
as the best means of enforcing respect for
their authority. The attacking forces con-
sisted of about $50 English sailors and ma
rnes, together with Il number OF volun-
teers, and about sixty American sailors and
marines from the Plymouth, and in addi-
ton thirty volunteers from the American
merchant ships in the harbor. The English
occupied the right line OF attack and the
Americans the left, the latter having three
pieces of artillery. The attack commenced
about O'Clock in the afternoon of April
4, 1854, by bombardment of the imperial
list camp. The charge which followed, how
ever, was checked by a deep creek which
pan directly in front of the enemy's posi-
ton, hut after sharp contest of about
ten minutes the allied forces succeeded in
turning the flank of the Chinese, forcing
them to retreat in great disorder and leav-
ing large number of dead and wounded
on the field. The American loss was two
killed and four wounded, and the English
suffered to about the same extent.
