entirely in the U.S. and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in
either direction. Even in her retirement, she retains the Blue Riband, the
accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular
service with the highest speed. |

USMC Boxer Reblelion &
Philippine Archive |
Archive includes a manuscript
notebook and 6 silver gelaton cabinet cards from USMC Private Manuel
Grundish, Co. A, 1st Marine Regiment. They were set to the Philippine Islands
in 1899, but with the outbreak of the Boxer Rebelion in China and the seige of
Peking the 1st Regiment of marines left Cavite in the Philippine Islands and
joined up with a smaller unit of marines near Taku, China. The first
detachment consisted of 107 marines from the First Regiment, who left Cavite
on USS Solace. The ledge in this archive has a complete roster of Co. A, 1st
Marine Regiment, as well as and four manuscript poems presumable writen by
Grundish about his experiences in both the Boxer Rebelion and the Philippine
Insurection. The first of these is entitled "All About the 1st" and
a brief extract of it is as follows: "Though we are out in the
Philippine ten thousand miles away. Yet time and space cannot efface
something i hear them say. They kid us fe contended and keep up the best of
cheer. The officers assured us it was only for a year. When we would return
again to Gods own country. And enjoy the rights and liberty awarded to the
???. But that year passed by long ago and we are still out here. And from
present observations we will remain Hear. From going home last year the
boxers did us for. And this year they detain us with the rebels in Samar.
& Uncle Sam was only joking when he caught us in this deal. It's
certainly provoking but a fellow cannot squeal. Down with the Philippines
will be our battle cry. And we will fool you Uncle Sam in the sweet
by-and-by. Our patience is growing weary and we want to get away. From this
Filipine country where they jam low all your pay..." the next poem is
untitled but reads "The
mirth has read its title clear, to mention in the sky. And Riley's battery
showed us all how Soldiers ought to die. The fourteenth to ? with fearless
front has faced the maxim flame. And Wallers hand full of Marines won
everlating fame. For when before the golden gate tht swing above the stars.
My fallen comrades stand arey in the Glory of their scars. With bandaged
browes and blistered feet and faces pale an thin. I think with me you'l all
agree That the Lord will let them in." The 3rd poem, also untitled
mentions Taku in China and and reads in part "She had not learned the
names of Chinks in far off China land." The 4th poen appears to be
written to the American philanthropist Helen Gould and bears the same title.
The last poem is entitled "The Lament of a Marine" and instead of
having stanza's he labels the 1st stanza "First Spasm". This poem
is a humorous account of life in the USMC and is quite funny. The cabinet
card photographs include four ships portraits, three of which are of the
rarely photographed U.S.N. China River Gunboats. I have never seen any of
these previously and are from the Boxer Rebelion. The imprints on these
photos are all Chinese and include "A-Boo" from Tien-Tsin,
"Yee Chun" from Hong Kong, "Fook-Sang & Co." from
Shanghai, & "H. Uyeno, als from Shanghai. The capture of the city of
Tien-Tsin was one of the first major battles fought during the Boxer
Rebelion. The ledger also includes a manuscript account of a prisoner revolt,
during which many USMC soldiers and officers were killed signed at the end
Manuel Philip Grundish Co. D, 2nd Regiment Marines. This six page accounts
gives details of how the rebels smuggled arms and used bolo knives supplied
by the U.S. for clearing brush to suprise the marines in the morning, while
most men were at breakfast and how many of the soldiers bodies were mutilated
the commanding officer was killed, along with dozens of other. A partial
transcription of this report reads as follows: "A rifle in hand the 1st
Sergt. of the Co. rendered terrible account. The sergeant who is now in the
Tocable Hospital killed the faithfull president who led the attack. With six
men he fought his way to the headquarters building to see if they could
rescue or take up a striken comrade despite the mad rushes of the savages
that surrounded him. They were able to secure the post colors then they ???
way to the beach where another little knot of comrades were defending the
Bartos and their wounded companions..." This ledge also has a manuscript
description of the Marines Krag Jorgenson Rifle or the U.S. Army Magazine
Rifle, Cal 30 Model 1898, detailed to the last degree, as well as description
of the gunboat guns and there ammunitions and the duties of the "post of
cabin orderly". All in inked manuscript hand, which is clear and easily
read. A rare Marines account of the Boxer rebelion and Philippine Insurection. |
