THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS. THURSDAY,
BIAS BAY PIRACIES.
CORRESPONDENCE WITH
CANTON GOVERNMENT.
THE CASE OF THE S,S.
* SOLVIKEN."
At the meeting of the Legislative Council to-day, H. E. The Gover nor's dispatch to the British Con- l-General at Canton regarding the pirney of the ss. Solriken was laid upon the table. The facts of the ease are, of course, well known but the dispatch is interesting as showing that offer of friendly e-operation with Canton for the root ng out of the pirates was again made, and that warning was given that punitive measured would be taken in the case of any outrage on British ship. The dispatch reads: Ste.-I have the honour to inform you that the s.s. Solviken, of 1433 tons, regialerrd at Bergen, and owned by the Norwegian Arm of. Messrs. Wallem & Co. left Hong Kong at 8 am, on. 19th July for Saigon, with 500 tons of general enryo. 250 tons of bunker coal and 320 Asintic deck passengers on board. At about 4 am on the next day, 20th July, she was captured by pirates and forced to put back to Biss Bay where she arrived at j2a.m. on 21st July,
I attach for your information
a police report on the incts, so far as they can be ascertained as 'pre- sent. It appears that the Master, Capt R. Jentost, Wis seriously wounded, while the 2nd Officer and the Wireless Operator have also been injured by revolver shots.
3. While it is clear that the pirates actually boarded the ship in Hong Kong (and as she is not sub jeet to the pirncy regulations and was proceeding to a port outside the danger zone this cannot be prevented), it is equally clear that the coup was engineered by the Bias Bay gang, since it was to that place the pirated ship was taken And was there the plunder was Janded.
་
4. I should be much obliged therefore if you would inform the Canton Government, and paquire of them if they are now prepared to accept the friendly co-operation of my Government in a combined operation which will once and for all root out this gang whose depre- dations are even more damaging to Chinese than to foreign interests.
3. Should this offer be refused, and should the Canton Government itself still fail to take the necessary punitive and precautionary
TICE- sures in Bias Bay. I have the hor- our to requces that you will repeat the warning that independent Bri- tish punitive action will without fail be taken if the Biss Bay gang commit any further outrage on a British ship.-I have, etc.,
(sd.) C. CLEMENTI, Governor, etc. Janton's Reply,
DRY ECZEMA FOR 7 MONTHS
In Small Red Pimples. Healed by Cuticura.
"I had dry ecsex for seven months. It broke out in small, red' pimples on my arms and limbs, and used to itch and burn day and night. It was worse when I got warm at work. In about two weeks the cup- tions would sesis over and peel off, and then start again.
*I read an advertisement for Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment and went for a free sample. I purchased more. and after using about five boxes of Cuticura Ointment, with the Cuticurs' Soap, I was haled.* (Signed) J.W, Hodgkison.33 Florending St., Amington, Staffs, Eng.
