At that time a French transport, with soldiers from the French colonies bound for North China, was anchored in the harbor. The British warships, the Balfour and the Ocean, were also on station. Contrary to custom, five hundred French soldiers and about three hundred British blue-jackets were given shore-liberty on the same day. There were also a few American soldiers ashore.
