Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Lieutenant-General Commanding the Army, 1900, Vol. 7 of 7 While the climate of the province of Chili is extremely hot in sum mer, it is extremely cold in winter, and the river pei-ho and that part of the Gulf of Chili upon which Taku is situated are closed to naviga tion about the lst of December and remain closed until late in the succeeding spring, so that it was necessary to provide not only for the landing of the troops with their horses, transportation, ordnance, and current supplies, but for the delivery in China, not later than the middle of November, of six months' supply of food, ammunition, heavy winter clothing, fuel, stoves, lumber for quarters, medical stores, and supplies of all kinds. Adequate provisions were made to meet this requirement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
