The position off the vessel at the time was given in the messages as "near Whampon, 171 mile from Canton.". "
Another wireless message re coived, apparently text out by the Master, stated that the pirates had fed and that the phasengera and crew were safe, The opinion was expressed, however, that the pirates might return later.
On enquiry. at the Naval Dock yard, we were informed that news had been received of the attack on the vessel which was stated to have taken place in the Blenheim Reach. The Arst message asked for help but a later wireless stated that the pirates, had decamped.
