Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beleaguered in Peking: The Boxer's War Against the Foreigner Authentic details furnished by representatives Of those legations whose work has been specially mentioned have made possible a greater detail in those cases. I regret that others who had promised me accounts Of their work have failed to furnish the promised material. The siege at Pei Tang or North Cathedral, coincident with that of the legations and civil ians, is not described for the reason that we were absolutely cut off from them for over sixty days and knew nothing of their movements. Much detail that might be interesting to many I have been obliged to omit, as it would make the book too cumbersome.
