NOTES ON PIRACY AND ITS Mr RT. G. Aitken,
IN
PREVENTION.
BY THE SENIOR NAVAL OFFICER
CHARGE OF WEST RIVER PATROLS.
PREVENTION OF PIRACY-PRESENT SYSTEM,
1- present shipping is protected against piracy by the following methods. (a) British Gunboats-These are dis tributed about the rivers and the Delta according to signs and information re cuived. They are a mobile force which can be switched to any area required. Piracy suppression is by no means the only duty they have to perform. The flag has to be shown and British interests in general protected.
(b) Armed Launches,-At present these are tied down to convoging the Hong- kong-Kongmoon river steamers. They run on a regular time-table" and convoy ships-through the most dangerous areas, In between their convoy work they patrul adjacent waterways. As long as they are with a convoy o piratical attack is likely to be made, but I am convinced that they can be far more effeiently em- ployed with equally good protection to the river steamers and far better protec tion to the many small craft under the British Hag if convoying is abolished and efficient patrolling instituted instead. At present every pirate and local inhabitant knows exactly when the convoy and its guard launch will pass and can make their plans to pirate a tow before or afterwards in perfect safety.
(c) Armed Guoreis on, baari Sp When pirney became serious it was ob. vious that some means of protection had- to lut provided and against internal piracy in particular. The danger of Any well-found ship being successfully attacked from the outside was, and in my opinion is very small indeed, pro- vided she was in the hands of efficient officers. I should be very sorry to try an attack on any of the river steamers by means of launches or junks as long as the river steamer was under way and under control and the officers wide awake.
It therefore came to n'question of con- voys or armed guards. To convoy the regular river steamer traffic and also the sei-going ship trafic to Canton and Kangmun means a very large number

At the time
no contoying launches ware available and it was found quite impracticable to get the necessary Nava Others and ratings to man any large number of launches, latherefore suggest ed that the cheapest and safest method to adopt was to make the Canton and Kongmun river steamers axil in convoy, a large and efficient armed guard being placed in ons steamer in each convoy. The were to be armed with machine guns and be available not only to prc. teet their own vessel but also to go to the help of any vessel belonging to the convoy if attacked. This system was adopted and continues to the present time. It has certainly been effective in Dr. J. W. Anderson preventing piratical attacks but it has Mrs. A.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE PRESENT SYSTEM. In my opinion the only alternative to the present system is to increase the num ber of armed launches available. If five more armed launches wore, provid- hed and manned by R.N. Officers and men Mr & Mrs B. A. Hale
then the carrying of large armed guarda | Miss M. B. Hall and the sailing in convoy could be Mr & Mrs J. Hancock Abolished. The system of grillen could Mr J. B. Hawker also be very much decreased.
Mr & Mrs W. J. With the present four "armed launches plus five additional armed launches a Lt. Comdr. G. F. Hole ayatem of efficient patrols could be in. Mr HL. Howell stituted covering the Pearl River and Miss O. 0. Jenkins from Wangmin to Kouginus. The aum Mr G. S. Hagh-Jonou her would not be sufficient to cover the Mr. A. Jordaa West River above Kaukong unless the Miss G. Kennedy
Mr M. F. Key patrol line elsewhere was weakened. It Mr & Mrs E. F. Kil would also leave the open saa gap be tween "Hongkong waters and the Bocca, Tigris forts and Wangmun but as river steamers are generally in sight of each other in these parts a successful, attempt to pirate them there should be very dif ficult. It would leave the Macao traffic |to itself' as at present.
