timed to fire on the French, thinking
they were the Chinese, and the French
entertaining the same opinion of them,
were returning their fire with energy.
There we lay like rats in trap, be-
tween two fires and not able to fire q
shot. About this time q member of
company "H" fastened small Ameri-
can flag to the point of his bayonet,
and in the face of thai terrible fire,
mounted one of the nearby mounds
and bravely waved it to and fro, until
it was seen by the French and the fir
ing ceased, only momentarily, how
ever, as onr troops on the left continued
to fire, and the French probably think
ing it ruse of the Chinese in display
ing the American colors, opened fire
again with renewed yigor, and the way
that the corn stalks fell, and the dust
flew, it was evident that something

the same company, seeing that the flag

two dying from the effects of the same,
and the simple fnct Of being under fire
is not one calculated to cool the blood.
1t was a sorry looking lot of men that
went into. camp that evening. The
Americans were not the only ones who
suffered from the heat that day, the
troops of other powers suffered equally
as much.

will soon be convinced of his error.

August 9th. Broke camp at $50 q.
m. and marched to Ho-Si-Wu, dis
tance Of about miles. The troop of
9th Cavalry (mounted) previously men
toned, joined the colum at this place.
1t seems that the general officers have
learned lesson from Yang -Tsun, as
our marches are now are being made at
more easy stages; the cool of the day
being utilized for the purpose, while
the troops rest during the extreme heat
of the day; it is useless to say that this
new venture was hailed with delight.
August 10th. Broke camp and the
march once more taken up at the usual
hour, every one in exuherant spirits,
jokes we're handed back and forth; no
disconsolate voice was heard that morn
ing, for every one knew that we would
not be exposed to the fierce rays of
cold Sol' that day as 9o'clock was
the hour of halting and going into
camp.
When 0 o'clock came and no halt was
ordered, some weak doubling "Thom-
as" asked, why? But no answer was

waving incident had proved fruitless,
went back under fire and notified the
battalion on the left, that they were
firing on the French, and soon after
we had the satisfaction Of seeing every
thing tranquil again, that is in our i'm
mediate vicinity. The man who waved
the flag and the sergent who volun-
tarily carried the message, escaped be-
ing hit. These are incidents where
brave acts go unrewarded.
During this time the remainder of
the American force were having it hot
and heavy near the town of Yang -Tsug;
it was here that the 14th infantry suf-
fered heavily from a most deplorable
accident; the Russian batteries were
shelling the town, and not knowing
that our troops were advancing so rap
idly, did not cease the bombardment
until twelve brave American soldiers
had yielded up their lives, as a forfeit
for this piece of gross carelessness, but
such unfortunate accidents have often
happened, aud will continue to happen
so long as history remains unfinished.
The American force marched q dis
tance of about IS miles that day, with
no water save that the canteen con
tanned (about one quartz at the start

any experience whatever, knows that a
canteen of drinking water lasts but a

Give soldier sufficient amount of
water to keep up the excessive perspi-
ration, induced by hard marching, aud

August 9th. Camp was broken at
about $3.50 a. m. Soon after crossing
tho Pei-ho river the Americans took
the right flank of the column, our OBJ
jective being Yang-Teun, about twelve
miles distant.
Before the battle and capture of this
place, an incident occurred which
came near resulting disastrously to
companies II" and "K" 9th infantry;
they were on the right of the line oc-
cupied by the regiment, and during
the maneuvars had become separated
from the main body, on account of the
extremely high maize, which made it
impossible to determine our direction
A body of French troops were in the
same predicament, and were in our
front advancing toward us. For the
past few minutes we had beeu under q
heavy sharpnel FIRE, the first supposi.
tion that this fire was from the Boxers,
but after a few minutes deliberation,
we decided that it came from our rear,
probably from Russian battery who
had mistaken us for the enemy, and
were making things very uncomforta,
BILE for us, when suddenly an irregular
rifle fire opened in our front and di.
rected at us, then we were in critical
place indeed, but fortunately we were
near one of the Chinese family buria
grounds, which have an embankment
about two feet high around them, be.
hind which we Immediately took shell
ter. The fire from the French, in oul
front increased in volume, until it be
came suicidal for one to raise his head
over the embankment, we were com
paratively safe so long as the French
maintained their present position, but
if they should decide to make flank

vouchsafed We marched along with
dogged determination for about three
hours with a rest of 10 minutes, the
day was an extremely hard one, and
one by one the men began to fall out
of ranks, until the company was very
much depletrd, then the rests came
with more frequency, but they practi-
cally no good, as there were no shade
to be had, aud not breath of air stir
ring; at each of these rests men would
be placed in the ambulances, until
there was room for no more and then
they would be left on the roadside, to
make their way as best they could, toI
the tender mercies of strugglers from
the different armies, aud camp follow
ers, the latter class would not hesitate
to commit murder for II paltrY sum of
money, and would even rob the dead.
1t is not very pleasant or encouraging
when your right or left hand man falls
at your feet, with a demoniac cry, a
maniac for the time being, and totally
Unfit for further active duty during the
remainder Of the march.
When the Sikhs and Sepoys go under
late arrivals from the torrid plains of
India-then it is abou! time for a white
man to cry quits
The country 50 far has been very
level, with great fields of corn, and at
frequent intervals small towns are to
be seen, in the neighborhood of which
are few trees, Had the Chinese sue
ceeded in flooding the country as they
intended our advance would have been
greatly retarded.

beneficial to all the troops, as it gave
them chance to recuperate from the
exhaustion of the preceding day,
