A junk's attacked and captures a large fishing boat off Siwanchi just in the entrance of Stanley Bay. Served any assistance in time not rendering a boat at hand and as the affair only lasted about ten or fifteen minutes only four musket-shots fired the Captured boat evidently not making any resistance. There being a breeze at the time the Pirate sailed out to sea taking the captured boat with her. I have since made enquiries but no one here seems to know who the fishing boat belonged to.
I have, &c.,
