the fire. The pirates came alongside and threw stinkpots and
tried to board. I and my crew repelled them with spears and
24
they retired. I received a bullet wound through the fleshy part
of the upper left arm. Cheung Sai received a bullet wound on
the right ear. My son Ngau Fuk Kwai was shot clear through the
body but was not killed. Chen Ying received a bullet wound in
the knee.
Three of the passengers were wounded also. One received
a bullet wound and two were burned by the powder from the
stinkpots. I do not know whether any of the pirates were hit
or not, nor whether any of them were wounded by spear thrust.
I put two of the passengers who were seriously injured
in a boat and landed them on the Shaukiwan shore yesterday.
I was afraid of them dying on board. There was no wind to sail
my junk and I left her off Fotowchow. I came in with my junk
today.
I do not know any of the pirates but I could recognise
one or two of them again if I saw them. I would know their
boat again.
Taken by me this
18th day of September, 1899.
