Bernadou, the first naval officer wounded in our present war with Spain. To inquire into the " General Sherman " affair, and to make a treaty, an American force, consisting of the " Colorado," " Alaska," " Benicia," " Palos," " Ashuelot," and " Mono- cacy," under " fighting John Rodgers," moved 195 America in the East into the Han River, on which Han- Yang, the Seoul, or capital of Korea, is situated. With Mr, F. F, Low, our minister in Peking, with whom was the responsibility of peace or war, ...our men caught sight of the superb scenery of Korea at Boisee Island, May 30. Only the " Palos " and the old double-ender " Mono- cacy," now the " Noah's Ark'' of the Asiatic squadron, could enter the river. On June 2, leaving the heavy vessels behind, four steam- launches and the two gun-boats moved out to the work of surveying. Around the bend of the river was "a whirlpool as bad as Hell Gate," and a channel only three hundred feet wide. To the surprise of the Americans, there was a fort and a new earth-work mounting several thirty-two pounders, and hundreds of jingals lashed by fives to logs.
