The following is an extract from the statement of a participant : " There were thousands of Coreans in the fort, and they were taken hy surprise. It had never occurred to them that the handful of men they saw in the valley would dare to attack the strongest fort in all the kingdom, garrisoned hy 10,000 of the best soldiers in Corea. Lieut. McKee was one of the first to enter the fort. A stalwart young warrior, the son of the Corean Commandant, made a thrust at him with his spear. The Lieutenant with a sweep of his sword cut the lance in two. Quick as thought the Corean raised the butt end of the lance and stabbed his antagonist in the abdomen. Mr. McKee died shortly after- ward. One of the sailors from the " Monocacy,'' a perfect giant, named Kemp, distinguished himself by wrenching a large sword from a Corean, and then rushing into the enemy cutting right and left. A Corean fell at every blow, and so rapidly did the sword circle through the air that no one was able to get anywhere near Kemp. The Coreans of course were utterly routed."

Lippincott & Co.] 878 "Winchester" — Sheridan's War Horse. Lieut. -Gen. Sheridan. The life-like remains of the favorite charger of the Lieuteiiant-General, who has fur- nished the following description and list of battles at which the horse was present, in- cluding the historic " Ride " to Cedar Creek, Va. " With foam and with dust, the black charger was gray ; By the flash of his eye and the red nostrils play. He seemed to the whole great army to say, ' I have brought you Sheridan all the way From Winchester down to sa\c the day]! ' " — Buchanan Read. Isolated Relics. 77 "Winchester" was of Black Hawk blood, and was foaled at or near Grand Rapids, Michigan, late in the fall of 1859, according to the best of my information. He was brought into the ser- vice by an officer of the Second Michigan Cavalry, of which regiment I was appointed Colonel on the 25th day of May, 1862. Shortly afterward, and while the regiment was stationed at the little town of Rienzi, in the State of Mississippi, he was presented to me by Captain Campbell in the name of the officers of the regiment, and from that date until the close of the war he was ridden by me in nearly every engagement in which I took part. At the time he was given me he was rising three years old, so that he must have been in his twentieth year when he died on October 2, 1878. He was an animal of great intelligence and of immense strength and endurance. He always held his head high, and by the quickness of his movements gave many persons the idea that he was exceedingly impetuous ; this was not so, for I could at any time control him by a firm hand and a few words ; and he was as cool and quiet under fire as one of my old soldiers. I doubt if his superior as a horse for field service was ever ridden by any one. I append herewith a list of the engagements with the enemy during the late war in which I rode him. (Signed,) P. H. SHERIDAN, Lieutenant-General U. S. Army. List of (47) Engagements at which "Winchester" was Present: Battle of Chaplin Hills, (Perryville) Oct. 8, 1862.

I am very sorry Sir, that your health compels you to leave us ; it is always very pleasant to find ourself in a strange land with fellow-countrymen who there conduct themselves like you. Believe me that in this general feel- ing I take a very particular interest. I have learned with great pleasure how you are beloved and respected in the army where you serve, and I assure you that I would have been greatly pleased to serve with you in the same campaign. I cannot take ad- vantage of the kind offers you make me for France ; we have, unfortunately, an occasion nearer us in Mr. de Conn- way, which, I am afraid, we are going to lose entirely ; I expect to hear from him every day. I remember with great pleasure. Sir, to have been at college with your brother and I, beg you to give him thousand compliments when you see him. I wish sincerely that you will not he taken at sea, but in case of mis- fortune, I beg you remember that you will find in Gen. Washington's army friends willing to serve you. I hope that you will not doubt of my sincere attachment with which I have the honor to be, Sir, your very humble and ohdt. servant, Le Marquis de Lafayette. Thousand tender compliments to Gen. Gates.

WINSTON, President Cash Assets, January 1, 1884 $101,148,248 Insurance in Force, January 1, 1884 $342,946,032 THE RECORD It was organized as a Purely Mutual Insurance Company, without capital, in February, 1843. It has received in Cash from all sources from February, 1843, to January, 1884, $330,169,964.71 It has returned, during that period, in Cash, $202,171,149.09 Its average payments to Policy-holders during each business day in the year 1883, were $46,500.00 The average rate of interest received for the year 1884, upon its Net Assets, was 5-37 per cent. 134a PLANS AND METHODS OF BUSINESS. This Company is the largest Life Insurance organization in the world, and the oldest active American Life Insurance Company. Commencing business over forty years ago, vpithout a dollar of capital stock, its plan has always been purely mutual and its policy-holders the sole owners of all its accumulations. In its methods for the transaction of business, conservatism and the practice of the strictest equity among the members have been leading features ; if changes have been proposed, their adoption has invariably followed the most careful consideration on the part of the management, and only after due conviction of their equity towards all the members. FORMS OF INSURANCE GRANTED. Ordi.-jary Life Insurance, as practiced by this Company, has stood the test of over One Hundred and Twenty Years in Great Britain — a suihcient proof of its safety and usefulness. Endowment Life Insurance, also a popular form with The Mutual Life, is but an outgrowth from the parent tree, by which policy-holders are enabled to personally reap the benefits of insurance on completing a stated number of years, death, meantime, constituting a claim. In some of its various forms, as adapted by the Company to the various needs of the applicant for insurance (see Premium Rate Book), these two plans comprise the whole business of the Company ; all speculative schemes as applied to the settlements to be effected with a corporation after the death of the other contracting party, have always been avoided in the methods pursued by The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. A NEW AND POPULAR PLAN. In the furtherance of its aim to afford the full benefit of purely Mutual Life Insurance (which can only be effected by the results obtained through continued investments for a term of years sufiicient to accumulate interest) the Company offers' its Five Year Distribution Policy — fully explained in pamphlet, which will be furnished upon application to the Company or any of its general agents. Its general features of difference from other forms raav be briefly stated thus : First. — Removal of many restrictions and grant of new privileges. Second. — Surrender value in cash xinder stated conditions. Third. — Immediate jDayment of claims after satisfactory proofs. Fourth. — Quinquennial distribution of dividends, yielding larger returns and consequently forming a better insurance investment. Fifth. — Monthly Premium Payments if desired. In some of its forms I^ife Insurance is either a benefit or necessity for all classes of people. No Company can afford to, or does offer greater advantages than THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK F. S.

This flag was made by Mrs. A. W. Greely and was intrusted to Octave Pavy, M.D., and was carried by him to Greenland in private Arctic expedition of 1880. Dr. Pavy delivered it to Lieut. A. W. Greely, 5th Cavalry, at Rittenbenk, Greenland, in July, 1881. The flag was carried in May, 1885, by Lieut. Lockwood, 23d Infantry, to lat. 83° 24' 5", Ion. 40° 46', and was there unfurled by him at the nearest point to the North Pole ever attained by man. In the summer of 1882 the flag was carried by Lieut. Greely into the interior of Grinnell Land, and was unfurled by him July 4th, from the highest point in Grinnell Land, the summit of Mt. Chester A. Arthur, 4,500 feet above the sea. In 1883 it was carried to the shores of the Polar Ocean, north of Greenland, by Lieut. Lockwood ; taken again by Lieut. Lockwood southwest across Grinnell Land to the western Polar Ocean, where it was displayed on the shores of Greely Fiord, May i6th. The flag was also displayed on the launch Lady Greely in trips made during the summer of 1SS2 into Weyprecht Fiord, to the head of Lady Franklin Sound, and down Kennedy Channel to Cape Craigcroft, and during the retreat from Fort Conger to Cape Sabine in the autumn of 1884. This flag has been four years in the Arctic Circle, and has been unfurled nearer the North Pole than any other flag in the world. * Copyright, Cenlury Co. 1880. t These articles were received too late for classification. 137 138 Accessions to the Museum. 1096 Greely Relief Relics.

Called, in French, arbalete a tours. XV. Century. The windlass was called a tours because that part of it in- tended to be fixed to the stock to draw the string was often battlemented like a tower. The stock of the windlass cross-bow, when the detached mechanism to draw the bow-string is provided with two cranks and two pulleys, has no fixed rest, but is always worked by a stirrup. The single bow (in above cut) f, which, in northern Europe, remained longer in use than elsewhere, gradually yielded to the cross-bow, which, as early as the twelfth century, had almost entirely superseded it. This was palpably suggested by the ballista, which, even in ancient times, was often light and portable. Richard I. introduced them into England, and in the third crusade they were very commonly used. The cross-bow (represented in above cut) c shows the earliest form. The bow was of a spring steel, and the string, usually double, was made of twisted gut, wound with silk or thread. A small windlass drew back the string, which was caught and held by a claw. A trigger raised this, and, the string recoiling, propelled the arrow with considerable force. At first the arrows were of the ordinary kind, feathered at the notch with leather or parchment, as in b gind d ; later, when more powerful springs were used, heavier bolts were discharged, such as are represented in a, the weight of which in many instances even exceeded 146 Accessions to the Museum. a pound. These bolts were sent with much precision, and so destructive was their effect, that at a great distance they penetrated light cuirasses and transfixed the unarmed. They were tipped with heads of various forms, some of which may be seen under e in the same cut. 1114^ Saxony Miner's Axe. Called " Bergbarthe." Of the XVII. Century.
