At the battle of Pehio, a shot from the Chinese fort killed two men on a gunboat, and cut off a leg from six others who were standing in line. Another had his leg badly mangled by a cannon ball as he was working his gun, and was obliged to be carried away to undergo amputation, but he declared he would not go until he had his revenge ; and, mangled and suffering as he was, he stuck to • his gun till he had fired thirteen rounds f more.
