On January 17, 1928, an attempt ed piracy occurred on board the 8.8. "San Nam Iloi" whilst proceeding from Kong Mun to Kaa Kong. The ship arrived safely from Hong Kong at Kong Mun; at the latter place a number of passengers were taken on board, who eventually turned out to be pirates. The Chief Officer and two Indian guards were shot dead during the attack. A determined resistance, was offer ed by the Ship's officers and the pirates were defeated and forced

to jump overboard. The number of piracies committed
