Taking a leaf from the book of ⚫local pirates, the armed force stood guard over the ship's helm until Shekki was reached. This territory is directly under the con- trol of Canton and it became an; easy matter to strip the ship of her cargo of foodstuffs, livestock and her treasure of Chinese small silver coins.

It has been stated that other vessels have been warned, ostensi-i bly by subordinates of the Canton Government, to desist from carry- ing food to Hongkong. One of the vessels mentioned is the s.s. "Chung Hing" which left Kwong Chow Wan on Monday and has now arrived here. She had very little cargo and this may have been due to news of the "Wah Shan's" fate having spread along that part of the coast. No un- toward incident is reported by the "Chang Hing." However, this may be due to the rovers having returned, it only for the time being, to Chinese territory and their consequent absence when the "Chung Hing" made the trip.

History Repeated.

In view of this development it is interesting to recall that the 8.8. "Hok Canton" was seized, taken to. Canton and not- as far as is known--returned. This steamer was alleged to have been smuggling opium, silver coins and other shipments which the Kuomintang Government had deemed illegal. At any rate, the cruiser "Wing Fung," also known as the "Chung San," was actually sighted on her way out from Macão towards the Lai Chow peninsula to "capture" the mer- chant vessel. On a Sunday night the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen's flagship was seen by a number of excur- sionists returning from Macao to Hongkong to be making for the passage near Gap Rock and the Ladrones group. Something was known to "be in the air," the "Hok

The warships immediately bombarded the mountains and hinterland. Fifty Spanish aero- plancs, assisted by French sea- planes, bombed the rebel posi- tiona.

The enemy replied very in- effectively. The wireless of one warship was slightly damaged by a shell but was quickly repaired. Otherwise no vessel was bit.

(ORDERS TO LAND. Orders to land were issued at eleven o'clock on Monday evening. General Sarba' column, consisting of ten tanks, two battalions of the Foreign Legion, three battalions of Spanish riflemen, three bat- talions of natives, one field bat- tery, two mountain batteriea, ammunition, four companies of sappers and three wireless de- tachments, assembled by dawn without mishap, except for a not serious collision between gunboat and destroyer owing to the crowding of warships.

..

The bombardment, naval and aerial, re-opened at five o'clock in the morning, and continued for four hours.

Boats laden with troops started for the shore at ten o'clock and the landing began at noon.

The native regulars were the first ashore. They advanced in- mediately towards the enemy position.

The enemy resisted but were caught by the fire of the war ships and withdrew rapidly..

The objective was soon, occupied and the whole column established biyouacs at Morronuevo by aun- set unmolested. In the course of the operation, an aeroplane was hit by shell fire and sank in the bay. The crew was rescued.
