Report on the piracy of the British steamship "Sainam" at Fu Wan near Samshui on the evening of the 13th July 1906

The only Europeans employed are the Master and Chief Engineer. There are also four Indian watchmen.
She has three decks. The lower or main deck is used for the deck passengers, the lower spar deck forward for 1st Class passengers and aft for 1st Class Chinese. On the upper spar deck is the wheel house and Captain's cabin, and here are kept the arms and ammunition.

The only Europeans employed are the Master and Chief Engineer. There are also four Indian
