"X1 Cheung" you reporting the rimacy of the British launch

enclose copy and translation or a despatch addressed to

His Excellency the Anting Viceroy in which the circum-

evidence given me by the Captain of the Chinese gunboat

"Pao Chieh", by those on board the launch, and by the

rescued passengers themselves that the pirates strictly

enjoined upon these last when thrown overboard that they

were, if picked up by the gunboat, to caution her not to

push the pursuit home or the lunch would be blown up. The

pirates were, in fact, provided with a number of stinkpots

which would have caused fire, but would not have -nahled
