Our serious troubles began after we
left Tientsin for Picking. The Boxers de-
stroyed the railroad in front of us and
behind us; and, In spite of our precau-
tons, cut off our line Of communication
with Tientsin. Provision began to run
short, and as the only means or pre-.

CALLING fire during the entire period. and
had run short of ammunition. We were
not prepared for a siege campaign. or
we could have made 1t more interesting

we started on our retreat that we re-
allied that the imperial troops were sup

attempting to make a long night march

Cheeku. which Is about seven miles from
Tientsin. at o'clock in the morning, and
there ran into formidable body OF
troops holding a fort on the opposite side
of the river. We could see the Chi
nese soldiers, less than 100 yards away,
standing to their guns. as they did
not shoot on our approach we presumed
they We're not going to modest us. One

the beginning OF hostilities. they opened
fire with machine guns and rifles. The
fire was calling, but 1t caused the coll
umn to swerve for only a moment. Then
we sought shelter and began picking of
the gunners by rifle fire. Then dash
was made across the river. The Ger

English took another. and no time was
lost in turning them upon the Chinese.

subsequently, informed that the fort was
garrisoned by 5000 imperial troops and
Boxers. They were routed through sheer
pluck and bravery After that eventful
