piratio- for protection
G: In conclusion I may observe that undoubtedly many cases of piracy occur in neighbourhood of which no information whatever reaches us. The natives never take the trouble of reporting illegal acts they have not themselves suffered, and I believe even the sufferers themselves seldom take any steps unless they believe there is a great probability of recovering their losses.
On one occasion a passage vessel which had been attacked just outside the harbor anchored here, among numerous native craft, in the evening, with several killed and wounded persons, but it was not till the next day at 10 a.m. that the Police became accidentally informed of it.
I have, &c.,
