All the world over where English is spoken, indignation has been aroused by the piracy of the British ocean-going steamer Anking."

Two British officers of the Mercantile Marine and a Chi- nese petty officer sacrificed their lives in a gallant effort to stay the attack. The Master of the vessel still lies in hospital from wounds inflicted by the marauders. Another officer was

also injured.

Altogether the pirates collected about $100,000 in cash and foot and seven unfortunate passengers are now m tivity with a price set on their respective lives.

A new rendezvous, next to the notorious Bias Bay, has been found, namely, Honghai Bay,

Immediately on receipt of information, Chinese troops set out in pursuit of the pirates.

These in brief are the features of one of the most daring and callous episodes in the history of China Sea out- lawry. The "Overland China Mail, the only illustrated weekly news budget published in Hong Kong, has printed full account of the tragic happenings which were aggravated by the fact that the bodies of the three dead defenders were dumped overboard.
