attacked and captured 4 or 5 Pirate Vessels after killing a number of their crews at a place called Tigho, where I captured seven Junks and Prisoners

47 occasions (31 of these were acquitted)

The Fishermen at Deep Bay and other places that were searched on our return to Hongkong confirmed this intelligence, stating that the Mandarins had taken all the large Piratical Vessels about the neighbourhood, and that only a few small boats remaining were concealed in different places.

I have, &c.
