But these 20th-century pirates are not interested in cargoes of costly silks, rare spices, or a pretty captive to be held to ransom.
Their main targets are the traffic which includes at least strings of barges filed with two ocean freighters, abort ' 85 scrap Iron being ferried from constat and inter-istant cargo foreign freighters to waterfront vessels, and 3,000
tugs, colliers, as well water-and-oil-lighters steel mills.
As more than 23,000 ferries, fishing vessels, and barges,
Japanese police estimate that they have stolen more than 120,000 tons of scrap metal in the past few months, And they complain that the large floating population which crowds the 25 canals and six rivers flowing Into Tokyo Bay are helping the pirates,
If anybody knows where the main plate lair is, he is not tuking the risk of informing the police. During the 83 years that the Tokyo Harbour Police force has been in existence, many an informer's
body has been found in the waters of the bay and taken ashore for burial

The
Deputy Superintendent of the Tokyo Harbour Police, Mr Toshikazu Saito, who is in charge of the fight against the pirates, said that the present battle was one of the strangest ho has conducted in more than 20 years of service.
The police believe, he said, that the pirates keep their launches and other craft in some of the more deserted coves in the Bay, in conveniently swwat- ed dockyards or at small boat anchorages,
The most common method of operation, he added, is to make a quick descent on to a string of barges being towed to the steel mill wharves. The last barge is usually cut adrift and the towing tug skipper informed. When the lug slips the tow- line to go to the rescue of the drifting barge the pirates slip in, pick up the tow and dash into one of the rivem or canals where accomplices unload Ulus barges at leisure.
Boarded
Any- tugboat captain who fails to fall for the ruse usually has his craft boarded at pistol before the barges are stolen, point and he is severely handled,
