sir,

With reference to my telegram No.136 I now have the

honour to enclose copies of the latter which I addressed

to the Wai Yu Fu on July 10 respecting the piracy of the

British launch Chi Chang (or K1 Cheung) near Canton,

and of Mr. Hansfield's despatchNo.83 of July 18th deg-

cribing this occurrence,

It will be seen from this enclosure that the attack

van carried out by armed pirates, four of whom were on

board in the guise of passengers and who assumed control

of the launch, As soon as they had done so, they were

joined by six confederates who came alongside in a boat

and set about pillaging the launch.

They were pursued by a Chinese gunboat, but escapod,

after running the launch into a shallow greek.
