Morrison warmly seconded it, and the plan was carried out without opposition from Prince Su or his retainers, as actual warfare had not yet broken out.
This palace consists of a lot of rather fine (for Chinese buildings) edifices, all of one story, arranged in a series of courts, with a considerable park on the west side facing on the moat dividing the palace from the British legation.
As less than a hundred yards' space is taken SHIBA HOLDS THE COMPOUND 159 up by the width of the moat and the ...roadway on either side, it will be readily seen that to hold this compound was to protect the entire east side of the British legation from the Chinese fire.
Colonel Shiba, the Japanese commandant, with his twenty-five soldiers, was first placed in charge, but later on he was reinforced from time to time by detachments from the Austrians, Italians, British, and French marines, and by the young men of the customs service, known as the Cus- toms volunteers.
The most determined efforts of the siege have been made by the Chinese troops and Boxers to obtain possession of the palace first, doubtless, because it commanded the entire east wall of the British legation at short range, and secondly, because they desired to exterminate the thousand- odd refugees men, women, and children har- bored there.
