But the Chinese were prepared for the emergency. Several gun-boats were disabled by the fire from the forts, a storming party was repelled, and the allied forces were obliged with great loss to withdraw and give up the attack as a complete failure.

It was now determined to carry the war to the very gates of Peking, and make the Chinese ac- knowledge the supremacy of "Western nations. Talien- wan, a fine bay in the most southern peninsula of Leau- tung, situated directly east from the embouchure of the Pei-ho, across the Gulf of Pe-che-le, about three hundred miles distant, was chosen for the rendezvous of the Brit- ish expedition, and a large marine and land force was soon collected at that point.
