Sketches in China - the "Sanspareil" Naval Brigade landing at Canton, 1858. British sailors disembark from a warship in Canton. 'Writing in reference to this subject, our Correspondent says: "Yesterday (July 3) above a hundred men of the Naval Brigade landed, and marched up to strengthen the position of the besieged head-quarters, which is becoming more unpleasant every day. Sharp work this! We pitched shell and rockets the other day from headquarters into the midst of an army of [Chinese] Braves who were advancing with lanterns. What a rich notion to fight with lanterns!".' From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
