pan

BY JAPANESE:

Swatow, June 8. A Japanese shipowner interested in the South China coastal trade has now under construction in Ja

a steamer specially plan- ned to frustrate any attempt on the part of pirates to seize her, whether on the high seas or in port, says a Swatow correspondent of the "N. C. Daily News."

"Piracy on the China Sea," he said in eonversation with me, has ever been a Chinese institution as banditry has been on land. It is only in these days of wireless com- manleation and fast steam services that the civilized world gets shock- ed whenever a case of piracy is re- ported, but you must not overlook the fact that in the old times piracy cases in China are a common occur

unce.

"However, to permit Chinese pirates to get away with it when we have so many means to get the better of them at our immediate disposal is obviously foolish.

Electrified Companion Ways. "In our experience and observa- tion, grilles are more of a hindrance than help, and, consequently, there is not going to be one single grille On the other on this new ship. hand, we shall have automatic, movable companionways between the bout-deck and the bridge, and the more pressing of a button on the bridge would charge the com- panionways and portions of the bridge house with thousands of volts of electricity and the first pirate that comes into contact with this huge, voltage of electric cur- rent would have no time to think out just what exactly has happened

to him.

The bridge and the engine room are the two most vital spots on the ship and yet we have seen how, in recent years, the Bias Bay pirates have had such easy access to them, in spite of grilles, Indian guards and the ship's armoury. *

Automatic Closure. "The engine room will be auto- matically closed the moment the ship is under way and the engineers and their assistants will have to come up to the boat deck first and then descend to the main deck by a circuitous route. That is a bit of inconvenience to them, we know, but the present system of ingress and egress is such that the engine room is within easy reach of the pirates.
