The War in Eastern Asia: facsimile of a sketch by Mr. A. Linton, Shanghai, 1894, (1895). '...Chusan; H.M.S. Redpole landing the [?] General & Admiral in [?], after the visit to the fleet...As reported in our last issue, Wei-hai-Wei has since fallen before the attack of the Japanese, who regard the capture of this important arsenal as a very great achievement. It is stated that the Europeans who took part in the fighting are on board the British cruiser Severn. The ironclad Chen-Yuen and the six gun-boats captured by the Japanese are to be repaired at Wei-hai-Wei. An American who had pledged his word to the Japanese not to take sides in the conflict, but who yet did so, is to be tried by court-martial for this offence. An English captain who witnessed the assault on Wai-hai-Wei, says that he was struck with the apparent absence of hope in the Chinese, as a contrast to the confidence of their enemies'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
