"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

FULL STORY OF PIRACY

SEND IT HOME!

The "Overland Mail" this week contains the full story of the piratical attack in the Canton Delta on the steamer "San Nam Hoi." An eye-witness (the Chief Engineer). gives a vivid description of the battle that was waged on deck be- tween the gallant skipper and himself on one side and thirty or more pirates, all armed, on the other, and he tells how, after a stubborn fight, the invaders were driven off, some being killed and others captured. A few escaped by jumping overboard. The Chief Officer of the ship, Mr. Conway, and two Indian guards were shot dead. A special report appears in the "Overland" describing in the words of the quartermaster how the Chief Officer met his death.

In regard to matters Chinese, comparative peace reigns at Canton: The administrators of the Kwangsi faction, headed by Gen. Li Chai-sum, appear to be settling down to constric- tive rule, and efforts are being made to oust the always- troublesome labour element.
