The J a- panese mined that channel. It was done on the night of April 12â€"13, when heavy rain and darkness favâ€" nred the work.

The same shock experienced by the observers on Golden Hill paralyzed for a. moment the men on the ships, but when it passed, torpedo boats and small boats hastened to the re- scue of the survivors.

The native servants employed by white foreigners in China rarely learn to call their employers by their proper names when among themselves.
