Opium was the only reason for which they made this lawless onslaught, and a rival gang ashore kept on firing at them during the raid.
Foreign Passengora.
There were on board the average winter crowd of Chinese passengers, and two or three foreign passeng. ers, including Mr. Eric Teichmann, Chinese Secretary of the British Legation at Peping and at present acting as secretary to Sir Miles Lampson, H.M. Minister. Bir Miles was himself to have travelled by the Tuckwo, but for some reason or other did not do so; he will, however, be able to hear from Mr. Teichmann a first-hand account of this attack upon a defenceless ship. Mr. Teichmann's mastery of the Chinese language proved of great value" in dealing with the pirate gang,

The firing then ceased, na another of the gang had shouted from the bridge to the party ashore, saying that they would come ashore after and explain affairs. With no more shots coming over the second officer found it possible to remove the wounded quartermaster to a state room, despite the opposition of one or two of the band. It was later found that the Chinese passenger with the wound in his neck, who had been seen to fall by a young rook's boy, was missing, and there is no doubt but that he was thrown the overboard by the party m easiest way of avoiding incriminat- ing evidence. Further, it is prac Lically certain that the quarterinan" her would have heen thrown over board as well if the officers had not come to his assistance so rapid
