GORDON IN CHINA, 1863 - 4, LEADING THE "EVER VICTORIOUS ARMY": "The officers of his force were brave men enough, but were not always ready to face their desperate antagonists. Gordon, in his mild way, would take one or other of these by the arm, and lead him into the thick of the fire. ...He carried one weapon to direct his troops, he had but a little cane, and this soon won for itself the name of 'Gordon's magic wand of victory.' "
