THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1882.
PIRATICAL ATTACK ON A JUNK IN selves—and we burned the Chief's village,
THE CANTON RIVER.
Chan Awing, a fisherman, was charged, with others not in custody, before Mr. Wodehouse, this morning, with piratically attacking, the com plainant's junk in the Canton River on the 14th instant, and stealing property valued at $69. The complainant, Ho Achun, a seaman, said he was employed on board a fruit trading junk running between Shik Laing and Canton. The master was on board, the crew numbering eight in all. On the 14th instant about 11 a,m,, the junk left Shik Lang for Canton with a carga offruit. Shik Long is on a tributary of the Canton River, and jojgs that river at a place called. Po Lo, a short distance below Whampoa. They reached Po Lo about 5 p. the same day, and as they were coming out into the river, they saw two flat boats, without aasts, piling into the tributary just as they were sailing out of it. The two boats were paddling along side by side, and when alxout 20 feet from the fruit junk, they called out for the latter to lower her sails, at the same time point- ing muskets at those in board. The sails being lowered, the pirate boats came alongside, one on each side, six of the pirates boarding the junk. Three of them had swords, two of them stinkpots, one heing unamed. Witness was standing on the bow of the junk with two or three others of the crew, the remainder of the crew being standing aft so as to leave a clear space in the middle for the thieves to take away the goods. He could see all the men plainly, and should be able to identify three of them easily.. The defendant was one of them and was one of the two who carried'stinkpots. As soon as the pirates boanled, they commenced transferring the junk property to their boats. They took away seven bundles of clothing, the greater part of 35 Baskets of man- goes, and 12 bundles of raw cotton of socattiescach, In all they took away property to the value of about 25% After they had finished the transfer of property, they left the junk and continued their passage up the creek, while the fruit junk went on in Cantou. They did not report the matter at Chu- Ion. None of the pirates, of whom there were about 12 in all, offered any violence. They commanded no noise to be made, and as witness's boat was without weapons, no resistance was offered, the pirates being allowed to do as they liked. They reached Canton carly on the morning of the 19th instant. Being only employed on board the junk for the voyage, and his place of residence being Hongkong, witness returned here the same morning by the steamer from Canton. Just after the steamer started, he noticed the defen- dant and two others of the pirates sitting together on the 'tween decks. They had the umbrella and two bandies of clothing produced with them. The umbrella was his (winess's) property, and was taken from the junk by the pirates. He
identified several articles named in the bundles of clothing as his property also. He kept quiet on the passage down, but on arriving in Hongkong, as the three men were about to leave the ship, he went up and seized the defen dant, charging him with being one of the men who had attacked the fruit junk. The other two mien ran away, taking with theus one burile, not produced. He kept hold of the defendant, and handed him and the property over to a con- stable. The pirates must have goue on pur-

between 300 and 400 houses, we then went on to Chiwinda's and fame. We Munro all right (though he had had an anxious time), and
we took down all Mr. Stewart's goods to Karo gas." Mr. Moir ackls that when lie left the north end of the Lake he was in the most friendly rela ions with all the chiefs. In a private letter from the Rev. Dr. Robert Laws to a friend, datedl Livingstonia, January 3, he writes:-"We heard on Saturday bad news from the north end—19 men of Mr. Stewart's have been murdered in cold blond. This has caused his retiring to Bendawee for a time. I am sorry for the poor fellows, several of whom have trudged many a weary mile with me.”-Edinburgh Pally Kevietes
