Letnesk where the Salt Junk's
Patoncok
Cargo
and the Fisherman's two Daughters had
been sold, I demanded the latter giving
a reasonable time on
the next day, but
it was only after firing
...
shot
over
and
...
through this large village that it was complied with. I then told the beadmen
that the Gun Boat was
going to
Dong Kong to act about their village
and the salt. They
were much frightened
at the whole proceedings.
I then proceeded to Tai and
Aai-Lang, where the Headman of the
pirates lives, found his house and burnt it.
I may safely state that no further trouble need be apprehended
from Mirs Bay for a long time which
I think is a
good
...
of the value.
The Salt junk's cargo may
be got back
from
Satoncok.
I returned to this Station
with the Fisherman's sunk in tow
this evening.
I have, &c.
