Excerpt from Niphon and Pe-Che-Li: Or, Two Years in Japan and Northern China
How much do the actions of the great influence the lives of humble people! Because an am bassador was over-confident, and an admiral over-rash in the north of the Chinese Empire, the machinery was set in motion for transport ing men to the scene of their blunders; and, by the working of one of the little wheels, I was lifted out of 0a happy home, dragged from the bosom of a fond family, and shipped for the muddy banks of the Peiho.
