CHINESE CRUELTY.
An Eye-Witness TelLs of Some Treacherosa
Murder Among the Celestials.
An employe of the Pacific Mall Steam
chip Co., who vra 8 stationed at Hon
Kong, gives the press a remarkable
story of adventure which illustrates thf
fiendish barbarity of Chinese warfare.
At the start the Taeping rebellion had
much to recommend it to foreigners. It
U supposed to have originated in a na
tive getting hold of and reading som
tray sheets of the Bible, printed iu
Chinese dialect.
The Initial impulse was that of re
ligious reform. The leaders declare!
war against idolatry, and bet out on a
arusade to destroy images. Their num
ber and power rapidly Increased, and,
as so often happens, it attracted abasei
element of adventurers to its victorioul
standard, so that the revolt degenerated
into a mixture of fanaticism and out
lawry.
A series of victories supplied the
rebels with enough treasure to tempt a
number of foreigners, who were of an
adventurous spirit, and who accepted
services in the rebel army at high pay.
They for a time did much to keep the
forces within decent bounds,while theit
knowledge of military tactics and di
cipline contributed largely to the sua
cess of the campaigns. The agent ol
the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. was ow
it these.
His narrow escape he described it
nearly these words:
'Things went from bad to worse antf
the rebels became perfect devils, with
out honor or compunction of any sort.
I stayed because it was death to desert,
but tinallj' a scene occurred which mad.
me fael that I must try to tret away nc
-natter what happened. We had in
vested a walled town, and the inhabit
ants had surrendered on the conditiot
that tfcir lives were to be spared.
"The terras were granted, and It wai
greed that the inhabitants should leav
the city by a certain gate without theit
arms or possessions, after which thi
town was to be sacked by the victors.
Under this agreement the townspeople
emerged from the narrow gate.
"The Taepings hud executioners sta
tioned with heavy swords at either side
of the gate, and as the poor wretches
came out these headsmen would decap
itate them at a stroke, when eager hands
would catch up the bloody corpses and
Cing them on a heap on either side. I
was stationed in the thick of the du
sacre, and I had to stand in the passage
oetween the heaps of corpses and there
I remained till 1 stood in a stream of
human blood nearly up to my knees.
"This so sickened me that I resolved
to desert that night.
"I managed to elude suspicions eyes
and got to the bank of the river, where
we were at the time, several hundred
miles from Canton. Here 1 hid in a
thicket of under bruh until night. I
matured a very careful plan of escape.
I had found a log which would Just
bear my weight and my purpo&e was to
float down the stream by night, con-
Sealing myself by day in some clump
of shrubbery along the hank. Of course
In such a thickly settled country as
China it would be impossible for
foreigner to go over land without di-
covery. l trustea to luck to get xoou.
"I would float down with the current
during the night, and at the first streak
of dawn would find a thick bush or a
bit of rank grass, and hide there till
night again.
"I slept much of the day, though al
ways on my guard and half awake. My
chief fear was of the dogs, who hate
foreigners as much as their masters do,
and have even a keener nose for scent
ing their presence. But, as it happened.
I was not molested by mas or beaaV
ua i oegan so veuevs 4 antra m get u
anton in safety.
'But the exposure and lack of food
told on me very fast and I was rapidly
becoming exhausted. One morning I
awoke from a half sleep and half stupor
and found to my despair that I had fal
len asleep on my log and had drifted
ashore, without awakening till broad
day. in the midst of a populous town on
the river's bank. What awakened me
was the clamor of the villagers, who
had discovered me stranded on the bank.
I at once tnought I had fallen into the
hands of sympathizers with the Taep
ings, and looked for nothing but a
speedy and a dreadful death.
"I was not long iu doubt as to my
fate. I was seized and bound and car
ried in triumph to the public square.
Here I was put in a large iron cage,
uch as is used for the exhibition of
riminals in China, and on this cage was
Inscribed the fact that I was a Taeping
rebel. My sufferings from that time on
I can hardly narrate. One must know
the Chinese to understand the vilenesa
f insult and of behavior which was
heaped upon me.
"With the practical spirit of their na
tion my captors claimed me as their pri
vate booty and I was exhibited for so
much a head. Of course as I was a rare
beast I was worth money and on that
account was kept alive, but no tongue
Can te'l the horrors of my fate. The
bystanders pelted me through the bars
with all kinds of odious refuse, and
climbed upon my cage and subjected
me to the most indescribable indignities.
I was fed only once a day and given no
protection against the burning sun.
Thus I lived on day after day, though I
Should have been glad to die, both on
account of my insupportable misery
and because I knew that I was being
taken slowly to prison and torture ana
certain death.
"I, however, did not wholly give up
myself to despair. I managed to com
tnunicate with some of the spectators,
whom I perceived to be more sympa
thetic than the mass, and in this way
got information started toward Shang
hai of my capture and suffering. My
only chance was that the foreign em
bassies would demand my safe keep
ing and a trial for treason. Even
then I supposed I should be condemned
to death, bat, at any rate, I should die
In a decent manner and be buried like
a white man. J ust what happened and
how long It took I don't know, for my
' sufferings upset my reason, and for a
long time I was insane, but when I came
' to myself I found myself in a hospital

SURVIVORS OF BALAKLAVA.
fweaty-Sevea of tao Veterans Gathered
at m Bsnqnst 1st Loasloa.
The survivors of the immortal charge
in the valley of death" thirty-eight
years ago sat down together the other
afternoon, a small company of grizzled.
bemedaled veterans, to a banquet in
the banqueting room of St. James' hall,
ays a London paper of recent date. In
the chair was Sergt. Herbert of the
Fourth Light dragoons, while Lieut.
Wlghtman of the Seventeenth lancers
aocupied the vice chair. The commit

lzed searched the United Kingdom for
Survivors, and the result was the ap
pearance of twenty-seven men only. As
they met hearty i grasps were given,
and the old familiar names called out
Jimmy," "Pete," "Harry," "Bill,"
answered to the old call, and as hands
were wrung one gray-haired veteran
would say to another: "Good old chum,
we managed to wriggle together for
many a year." The medals which were
worn spoke of service in India during
themutlny as well as In the Crlma,and
though the veterans, with one excep
tion, wore plain clothea,on every breast
the medals were conspicuously dis
played. There were over thirty guests
present, noncommissioned ofilcers in
the old regiments, so that the old and
the new life mingled together and com
radeship was cemented in good nut
brown ale.
Of those, present in the charge there
were nine of the Eleventh hussars, nine
of the Seventeenth lancers, eight of the
Fourth light dragoons, on of the
Scots Greys and two of the Eighth
Royal Irish hussars. The single sur
vivor who wore his uniform, and prob
ably the finest man in the company,
was Sergt. Fawke. who stood six feet
in height and measured forty-four
inches around the chest, lie was twenty-two
years of sge when he rode with

There is not a white hair to be seen in
his closely cut black crop; his cheeks
are clean shaven, and his black mus
tache is pointed a la militalre. This
man of sixty not only stands erect and
firm upon his letrs, but rejoices in his
strength, and lu proof thereof he cut
bars of lead through with one sweep of
his sword, and played with a forty
pound club in a way to astonish every
one. The gallant sergeant wears upon
his breast the Crimean medal, with
three clasps for Balak!as, Inkerman
and Sevastopol, and also the Turkish
medal, and his forehead and check
show now the marks of sword cut and
bullet wounds. There were seven
wounds in all receive! by Fawke on the
eventful day, three of which were on
his legs. Sergt. Fawke rtnle In the
lord mayor's show last year and earns a
