" evidently disposed to be mischievous, I demanded that he should at once send to the gunner to forbid the firing at the hospital. With this the inter- view closed, and I proceeded to the consulate to state what had occurred and make a formal complauit. Mr. Alcock, her Britannic Majesty's Consul, regarding the matter as requiring prompt measures, secured the co- operation of the naval commander at the port. This he readily granted, and landing sonie of his marines, they accompanied the interpre...ter, with a letter to the Triad chief, recounting the transaction, and telling him that if by accident or design the hospital should be struck again they would blow up the north gate of the city, and take such other steps as might be necessary. After this the firing at the hospital and the amusement ceased together. Though during the entire siege the risk was great of being caught by a shot, I was never again fired at designedly, and in the thickest of the danger, when the fights raged hotly in the neighbour- hood, no one in the mission enclosure was struck by a baU.
