The chronometer was also re- moved and the chart-room battered. The damage cannot yet be estimated, but when the Daily Press representative was on board the police were busy interviewing the "rew and passengers and discovering their various losses.
As to the number of pirates who took part in the raid, the Chief Officer remark. ed that there must have been fifty aboard, some of whom brandished wo revolvers menacingly.

After the pirates had left the ship, and the officers had bevu unbound by passen gers they found that the ship had been takeh into Bias Bay, which is beyond British waters.
