FEARING A FINAL ATTACK.

meet with any sort of reverse which may delay
their advance. In that case however. I think
determined attempt would be made to Soup

through fear of the advancing force and we
might not survive to feel hungry. We have
been able sometimes to buy a good many eggs
sold to Us surreptitiousIy at our barricades by
the soldiers who are besieging US, and these have
been priceless boon to the sick babies and in
valds. The Yamen, even one day sent us in a
present OF ice, countless watermelcns (ten times
more deadly than their bullets and shells) and
two hundred pounds OF f1our-a fat lot to be dis
tributed among four thousand hungry people.
The reason OF this burst of generosity was evil

fortunately for US the proportion OF casualties to
the number OF rounds fired is most ridicuIously
small. The walls Of most of the legations make
1t difficult for the Chinese to fire right down into
them, except from the city walls but they seem
TO have an idea that If they only fire off a sufH-
cient number OF rounds. they are bound to ex-
terminate the foreign devils Consequently.
