Sir:-

KECU Rec 24 SEF 06

In connexion with the Samnam piracy case I have had under my consideration the question of the representations which should be made to the Chinese Government for the purpose of ensuring the safety of navigation in the Canton River and Delta.

Piracies in these waters appear to be the work of banditti who live on land, often at a considerable distance from the waterways, and whose depredations by land are as frequent as by water.

The work of clearing the Delta of these banditti must, if ever achieved, be long and difficult. Meanwhile it is of importance that some means should be devised without delay for protecting British shipping from their piratical attacks.

In my despatch No.318 of the 13th instant I transmitted to you copy of a letter from the Colonial

Jordan, K.C.M.G.,

etc., &c., &c.

Sir:-

KECU Rec 24 SEF 06

In connexion with the Sainam piracy case I

have had under my consideration the question of the

representations which should be made to the Chinese

Government for the purpose of ensuring the safety of

navigation in the Canton River and Delta.

Piracies in these waters appear to be the work

of banditti who live on land, often at a considerable

distance from the waterways, and whose depredations

by land are as frequent as by water.

The work of clearing the Delta of these banditti

must, if ever achieved, be long and difficult. Mean-

while it is of importance that some means should be

devised without delay for protecting British ship-

ping from their piratical attacks.

In my despatch No.318 of the 13th instant I

transmitted to you copy of a letter from the Colonial
