All this time we were whirling down the river toward the settlement, and our only hope lay in being able to make ourselves heard as we were swept past it. Night was fast coming on. however, and it seemed in the last de- gree unlikely that we should be ob- served. Only too 'well [knew that .~h .ul 1 our greit i lind of ite be our: ied below the harbor, we must inevitably be carried out to sea. where death as- suredly awaited us. Ytu may. then, judge for yourself the. inexpressible relief I felt ,when, just as we approached the northernmost build- ing of Yingtze, I heard the voice of my Scandinavian officer above the deaf- ening din of the crashing ice. There was an unmistakalt’e stoppage and rocking and lumpiing of the floeszi'nead l of us. and a few moments later the; mad career of the one on which we] ourselves were was checked. and it took instead a round and round course which caused it to remain practically '2 stationary. but a cable’s length .~b .ul 1 our greatt i I‘m below the harbor, we be carried out to sea. suredly awagted us. Seeing how matters stood, Ileaped to the highest point of the floe, where snow and rubbish had been heaped up beside the ice roadway. From this point of vantage I surveyed the awful prospect that surrounded me on every side, and tried to think out a means of deliverance. At first, I remember. the men ran excitedly to and fro, with smothered cries. and a little slacken- ing of outward discipline. AL -3- ..----... we stood, and which stretched from one bank to the other, was split and riven from end to end, and from side to side, and became in a few moments a mere collection of enormous floes. dashed hither and thither by the tide. and left struggling in a turmoil in which the smaller floes were ground to pieces by the larger ones. It was a fearful sight. The extraordinary width of the river must be borne in mind, also the immense thickness of the ice and the irresistible force of the newly awakened river. I remember seeing the great floes bearing down upon us and curling over on top of each other with the most appalling and deafening sounds. Almost before we‘ realized our position. we found our-l selves prisoners on what, by God’s! grace, proved to be the strongest floe in our immediate neighborhood. This great floe was some hundred feet square, and by virtue of its size and weight, it asserted its superiority as it charged irresistibly forward to take its place amidst the whirling, contend- ing masses.

On this occasion, however, those he addressed were in no mood to be balk- ed, if any chance remained of seeing the inside of their own comfortable quarters that night. For what was‘ the alternative? It was to sit dur-.~ ing the long. cold hours of the night! in a room packed to overflowing with "the Great Unwashed"â€"â€"many, as like-' ly as not, from the wildest parts of the country, and as evil-smelling as only the sheepskin-clad Tartars can be. At any rate, I turned a deaf ear to the veteran ferry'man's counsel, and that, notwithstanding that its warning was respectfully repeated at the last mo- ment by my own trusty Sergeant. I committed myself and those with me] to a cruel and unjustifiable risk.

Our rescuers were within 150 feet of us, and between us and them lay three or four huge mass- es of iceâ€"smaller, however, than the one on which we stood. These smaller flees were necessarily more sensitive than our own to the action of the ed- ;dies, and they were now tossing and ‘whirling in wild confusion. And the ,darkness of night began to envelop this UTTI‘ERLY INDESCRIBABLE SCENE. I’nder these desperate circumstances I don't suppose that any sane man would have attempted the passage to the boat on foot. but the thing had to be done. Anyhow, where I and my hardy Norsemen went my stanch Man-i chus unhesitx tingly followed. We ran we jumpe'l and we slipped; we swayed like drunken men as we stepped from floe to floe. which rose and fell and swirled and crashed round and round beneath us; but we never actually tumbled down. At last we reached the boat and flung ourselves into it, speechless and almost fainting.

The advancing upâ€"river floes were thus arrested until some portion of the obstruction had come away. It seems that one of (my staff in the town itself, 80198 on night duty, thought he de- sorted human figures on one of the floes as he was gazing from the jetty at the appalling war of the ice masses in the river. He could not recognize individuals, of course, but he saw felc low creatures in sore peril, and hei acted with promptitude and skill. t Without a moment’s delay he dashed Off to the barracks and called out the 1 men. In a wonderfully short space ,Of time he had our lifeboat ready for 'lau‘nu‘hing. Now, before joining the Chinese service, Mr. T. had been an officer in the mercantile marine, and his nautical training certainly stood us in good stead that night. He cal- culated that the career of the floes would soon be blocked again in the big bend, and he felt sure that a back cur- rent would be set up under the near bank. It turned out exactly as he had anticipated. His boat was then carried over a rough region of ice to the lane of water made by the eddy aforesaid, and soon eight stalwart rovwers were pulling in our direction.
