abode and moving about constantly in boats and that the
villagers were either unaware of their presence or powerless
to do more than protect themselves against them, if that.
These flats are not, it seems, the property of
the villages near which they lie, but of rich absentee owners
living in Canton and Maceo. Their cultivators are hired
labourers of the lowest and poorest class, who are only too
thankful if they can conciliate these marauders at no greater
cost than a free meal.
On the whole I think the attitude of the Chinese
Officers on this point is justified. In a time when the more
possession of unlicensed arms is liable to mean summary execu-
tion, it is not to be expected that agricultural villages should
arm themselves to protect passing freight if that offers suffi-
cient attraction to keep the pirates from the villages them-
selves.
At the same time I am of opinion that in some
cases the villages are the direct instigators of these inter-
ferences with traffic; that in fact they set themselves to
force toll from everything that passes them.
This is notably the case with the Sha Wan and
Kan Kwong Chal attacks. Sha Wan (called Sai Wan on the charts)
is a very large village close to the river's edge) Kan Kwong
Chai is the name given to the shore opposite (uninhabited).
There is a guard boat manned by "Local Guards" (Heung T'un
guards recruited by the village from their own numbers and paid
by the village).
I cannot therefore believe that the people of
Sha Wan were not aware of the detention of the Conservancy boats
within a few hundred yards of the village or that if they were
aware of the presence of pirates and were not in league with
them, they would not in self defence have attacked them. On
the contrary I should look in Sha Wan for the heads of the "Yut
Shing T'ong" and "Wing I Tong" pirates.
