The pirates were prepared to shoot. li and did so, but how many times can- not be ascertained now. The master of the junk was shot in the leg and jumped overboard. The pirates shut the woman and children below and proceeded to steal the junk. The sails were hoisted and soon the junki with the master's wife and children kidnapped, vanished into the night.

The master's wife and children' were rescued. As showing the desperate methods used by the pirates, the woman was found to be shot in both legs. She was removed to the hospital this morning.
All the pirates were safely lodged in jail and will come up for trial in due course.
The prompt action of the Police in effecting such a quick arrest is worthy of praise..
