When day light broke about 7. a.m. another Japanese steamer came up, FI.M.S. Bluebell, and the Kaying.
We signalled to the Kaying that we wanted their handpump and they put off a boat and brought the pump to us about eight o'clock. I asked the second officer of the Kaying to get an armed guard from the Bluebell to arrest the pirates on the Sunning and when the guard came on board I mus- lered part of the passengers and crew on the main deck and made them file past in line:
Identification.
I recognised some of the passen- gers as pirates and pointed them fout to the armed guard. In other cases, either the compradore, bo- sun, No. 1, fireman or the steward called out 'bad man'
At this time the fire the port alleyway was very bad but it was being mastered in the starboard alleyway. After the first identifi- cation, part of the armed guard stayed with the pirates who were at the bows and the others went aft. The fire had started to come up again and I had to get the crew together to get à chain of buckets going again.
This took some time, and when I went aft. I found the Chief Engineer conducting another Identification. The crew had got hold of one of the pirates, I think either No. 7. or No. 11, before the armed guard came on board.
Mri Holmes: Would you say that at any time the pirates had control of your ship?
Capt. Pringle: They had con- trol of my ship from 3.45 p.m. 'on' the 15th until 4.30, a.m. the follow- ing day when the last gang left,
Continuing his evidence he said "The Suiyang came up and she and the Kaying made two abor- tive attempts to tow us. The Kaying tried but failed, and al- though we got tied up to the Suiyang her Manila hawser broke. The Taikoo tug arrived about 11. she pim. We made fast and brought us to Hongkong, arriving about 2. p.m..on the 17th.
Captain's Personal Loss..
Going back to the incidents on board. Capt.
Pringle said the armed guard remained on board the Sunning guarding the pri- soners while the Bluebell left about noon on the 16th. She left toga in search of No, G boat. When the Sunning reached Hong- kong police officers went on board und took charge of the men held by the guard.
Witness was handed certain photographs of the Sunning and he pointed out the various cabins. He said he had lost all his personal effects, to the value of about $2,500 and that he sustained burns on his hands by the fire and by setting off the rockets.
Capt. Pringle was then asked to": look at each defendant and any what he knew of them, His ans- wers were: No. 1 1 can't place. No. 2 I say on the ship. No. 3 I. remember quite well. He was one of the first to come up the chart. room and jabbed a revolver into my stomach. No. 4 was also among the first to enter the chart-room No. 5 I saw on the ship and remem- ber he was armed,

You should have been, is that not so? The fact of the matter is that I had been in my cabin having a cup of tea when the attack started,
