An American oil steamer having been attack. ed with complete success and perfect impunity last month, the pirates inst week made a far more murderous and daring attack upon the British steamer Sal-nam, which was apparently a kind of feeder or connection in the trading opera- tions of the Hongkong, Canton, and Macno, the China Navigation, and the Indo-China Steam Navigation Companies, who are her owners Now, as the Sai-wam was supposed to be, fully protected from attack by an armed Indian of the Sandpiper tyre, which one had in do Tientsin, Pr. 95, 1,071, E.

Dr. MacDonald was murdered whilst attending to the danger. ously wounded captain; the chief engineer, too, was also apparently left for dead by the pirates. Fortunately, none of the usual sum

"crowd" of trippers was on board, or there would have been many more murders doubtless. The attack was of the usual pat tem, except that the incentive was, neither spécie nor apium, but a consignment of rifter and ammunition for Government, which cer. tain other folks besides pirates always pay liberally to get hold of. The pirates who had taken passage in the Sui-nam had evidently not been searched for con cealed weapons, and they, of course, handed her over to the usual two fast craft who 'ap peared on the scene at the appointed time-to carry away the plunder and the piratical passengers. Now, although it is true that large ocean-going steamers have been acidom med-

Besides, just as you caubot make omelettes without breaking so the suppression of piracy means the trouble of putting on diplomatic pressure from home, and personal risk in China to some officer who will undertake in do the work there. As to whether this is worth while, my readers must judge after reading an extractor, two from the

Here is one from '97 to 98, when British local trade was almost brought to a standstill by pirates, so numerous were the outrages they committed on the trade routes. Now, during were nearly eighty this period cases of piracy upon the Canton and West Rivers and the neighbourhood of Hongkong ta fact; [the pirates in their armed vessels were practically master of the great West River. Of course, the Red Ensign was the principal aufferer. Here is a typical case. In January, 1900, the small British steamer Lily cleared from Caston, bound to the treaty part of Whampos, with between sixty and seventy passengers on board, and after landing about a dozen of these there, con- tioued her voyage. But on passing San-Tsing over a score of pirates, who were amongst the remaining passengers, drove the captain and crew below and seized the vessel. The Lily was then headed for Shin-tab, where two fasi piratical craft, met her, put some thirty more desperadnen, with a supply of arma, ammuni. tion, provisions, and coal on board, and the Lily then started on a piratical cruise! First a native trader was held up and relieved of her give her away to the pirates an incredible num
cargo of coals, and the armament she carried her of miles off in that clear atmosphers. Also, to protect them! Next morning, off. Heung. piracy cannot be put down by even British shan, the Lily fell in with the Skek-kí, a native. gunboats, much less Chinese, though, oltrader, in tow of the small steamer Kwan-tung course, they must always be on hand," The latter was then attacked by ramming. The else these gentry, wou'd overrun the entire pirates, however, caine off second best in the coasts and waterways. Its suppression is a
encounter, for their opponent was a very strong matter for an Intelligence Department. The ly built little vessel, but they eventually took writer apeake from knowledge here, and what
both steamer and sailing vessel by boarding he has done rould be done again. (iven an After plundering these the pirates abandoned English officer, who has been many years the badly-injured Lily transferring themselves, | -3 Chinese. amongst the Chinese, who knows them tho her armament, and their plunder to a new roughly, and is known and liked by them, whilst prize, the steamship Awax-Ki. Later in the not afraid to make his own skin in native clothes, day, when there were no traces of the pirates and who understands the "little" of the pizate to be seen, there came the usual appearance of Amoy, Ger. s.0., 653, H.
