walk promenaders shortly after the
noon hour by pIunging into the surf

water cold. but the fair bathers,
both of medium height, but well
built in figure, did not fear either

below Young's Pier, first with their
rushes into the arms Of Neptune and
then with their frolics on the beach,
sprinting up and down. That they
could stand half an hours exercise in
the surf and on the beach in their
thin robes of black serge indicated a

THE BATTLE OF TAKU.
German ORcer Writes a Book and
Tells How Anxious the Americans
Were to Get Into the Fight.

The advance sheets of Josef Her
rings book, "The Battle of Taku," of
which engagement he was an eyewit-
ness, says, discussing American non
participation:
'The Morocacy, called by the Chi
nese the jinrikisha of the sea. because
it was sidewheeler, was anchored off
the railway depot at Tong Ku before
the bombardment. The last train from
Tientsin brought hundreds of fugi-,
tives. many of whom were taken on
board the Monocacy, it having received
orders from Washington not to take
part in the fighting.
"This displeased the American off,
GERS. When mingling with the officers
of other nations on the wharf on the
Pei-Ho the Americans expressed dis
satisfaction. The foreign officers gen.
orally sympathized with the feelings
of the Americans, who did not want to
see the fight without taking a hand in
it. Capt. White did not share in this
public discussion of the United States
action. which was confined to the
juniors.
During the bombardment the Mon
ocacy was struck by two shells from
the forts. Capt. White would like to
have gone into action then, but could
not do so because his vessel was
crowded with noncombatants."
