A panic ensued, and sixteen thousand were killed, wounded, or captured. The best drilled of the Chinese stood their ground to the last. The Japanese loss was slight. It is reported that during the attacks on Waihewai, and while the Japanese fleet was approaching, the British fleet fired a salute to warn tho Chinese forts, and applied tho search lights.
