St. Andrew Oliver St. John logbook for HMS Centurion
Manuscripts
Midshipman St. Andrew Oliver St. John kept this logbook that describes the day-to-day activities, along with hand-drawn maps and technical diagrams, of Vice-Admiral Edward Seymour's HMS Centurion expedition to relieve the city of Peking (now known as Beijing) during the Boxer Uprising. The log details the ship's journey through Hong Kong, Taku, Weihai, and other locations as well as provides an eyewitness account of intense resistance from Chinese forces and Seymour's retreat to Tianjin. Many of the entries were reviewed and initialed by Vice-Admiral Seymour. The volume is accompanied by a list of commercial code signals and a page from a 1901 edition of The Navy and Army Illustrated which contains images of the Centurion crew and officers.

St. John O'Sullivan letter to Charles Francis Saunders
Manuscripts
Partial letter from St. John O'Sullivan to Charles Francis Saunders in which he writes of finding the "Journey Story" that he had written a year earlier. He also mentions previous versions of the story and his attempts to include more detail in his later attempts. The story was probably related to O'Sullivan and Saunders' work on Capistrano nights. Only the first page of the letter is included.
