Stubbs said TO Ting:
FThe admiral has suddenly lost his
mind, gone crazy, sheer cracked. The
devil possesses him. He is fighting tho
door TO get down to the ground that
he may order the torpedo boat to de-
stroy everything in sight and he
swears that he himself will desecrate
the graves of your ancestors Keep
fast the doors of the tower until the
torpedo boat returns and we may chain
the admiral up.
Ting, who had in his shoe a couple
of gold sovereigns acquired from
gent look in his eye:
'We VIII not let him out until the
vessel returns. He shall NOT desecrate
our ancestors graves. -
Meanwhile the landing party from
Number One was working as one
man, and a Trojan at that. Under the
lead Of half dozen frightened Chi
nese with pistols held at their heads,
the bags of grain were being tossed
apart and pistols and muskets were
being hauled out. They were so numer~
Gus that Balestier ordered every Chi
nese in sight, and there were hundreds
of them, TO assist in the work of re-
moving the arms and loading them
upon Number One IS boats.

Then came the more difficult job of
getting up four hundred boxes Of fixed
ammunition sunk in the soft mud
dred Chinese, melted 10 work by the
arms and example of a hundred Brit
ish seamen, the work was done in Il
surprisingly short time
As Balestier, revolver in hand
watched the toiliDg men at work in
the blistering heat, he glanced every
now and then toward the tower hall
mile away. Occasionally he saw Ad'
miraI Harbord s tall figure striding ny
and down the platform, and waving his
arms like "A Dutch windmill, followed
by Hyde. while Stubbs kept up steady
volley of Chinese toward the listening
upturned Asiatic faces below. Then
in despair, the admiral would rush down
and begin again the kicking and pound
ing at the door, followed by Hyde and
Stubbs.
."'Poor old chap" thought Balcstier
wiping his face, chow hot he must be
and what wouldn t he give for whis
key and soda at this moment! How
ever, ! IN Just as hot and thirsty as he
and T won t get anything to drink any
quicker y
In exactly two hours and forty min

Structions conveyed in Admiral Har-
bord s lurid eye, seized the Chinese and
bumped his head thrice against thc
wooden door, and yelling at the same
time in English:
