They also stole 4 Mauser Rifles, 4 Revolvers, 2 Swords, 300 rounds of Mauser Rifle Ammunition, and 250 rounds of Revolver Ammunition. The robbers battened the passengers down in the forecastle, made the crew work the Launch, taking her to Tsau Khan, a place a little above Kong Moon in the San Ui District where they robbed a Ch'uang Sha to Canton passengers junk in tow of a Steam-Launch, of money and goods, value unknown. They then steamed to Kai Tsun in the San Ui District where 3 boats came off and took them and their loot ashore. Nobody was injured. When attacking the last mentioned vessel they fired about 100 shots at her when the Launch cast off and fled.
