The tow-boats in On and Chuen Hing, oporating between, Kongmoon and Shiching, have sus- pended their services temporarily. It is said that the tribute 'demand- ed by the pirates to relieve them from molestation, and the protec- | tive fees asked for by the Water police, are factors in the situa- tion. The possibility of troops commandeering these boats for transportation purposes is also a possible reason for the suspension of the service.
