Armed Launches. At present these are tied down to convoy- ing the Hongkong-Kongaun river steamers. They run on a regular time-table and convoy ships through the most dangerous areas. In between their convoy work they patrol
adjacent waterways. As long as they are with a convoy no
piratical attack is likely to be made but I am convinced that
with equally good protection to the river steamers they can be far more efficiently employed/and far better protection to the many small craft under the British flag if convoying is abolished and efficient patrolling instituted instead. At present every pirate and local inhabitant knows exactly when the convoys and its guard launch will pass
and can make their plans to pirate a tow before or afterwards
in perfect safety.
Armed Guards on board ships. When piracy became serious it
was obvious that some means of protection had to be provided
and against internal piracy in particular. The danger of
any well-found ship being successfully attacked from the
outside was, and in my opinion is, very small indeed, provided she was in the hands of efficient officers.
should be very sorry to try an attack on any of the river
steamers by means of launches or junks as long as the river
steamer was under weigh and under control and the officers
wide awake.
I
It therefore came to a question of convoys or armed
guards. To convoy the regular river steamer traffic and also the sea-going ship traffic to Canton and Kongimun means
a very large number of fast convoy craft continuously
employed. Also as the speed of the convoy is that of its
slowest ship a great deal of invonvenience is caused to the better found vessels. On the other hand to let ell ships proceed independently and yet be safe means a large number of armed guards on each ship.
