Ta-Lien-Whan Bay, with the Japanese Fleet, (1895). Sketch by Mr. Loftus C. O. Mansergh, H.M.S. " Undaunted." 'It seems like ancient history to refer to the subject of the Illustrations on this page. They represent an important event in the Corean War - the taking of Ta-lien-whan Bay by the Japanese. This occurred on Nov. 5, [ie British Bonfire Night] 1894, an appropriate date for such an achievement. Ta-lien-whan was defended by 3000 infantry and 180 cavalry, but the Chinese forces acted with great cowardice, flying like sheep towards Port Arthur. The Japanese attacked Ta-lien-whan from the land side, and their losses only numbered ten killed and wounded. Marshal Oyama had, therefore, a complete and easy success, rather to his own surprise, as the defensive works were extensive. The first division of his army captured Kinchow, and to the second division fell Ta-lien-whan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
