"X1 Cheung" you reporting the rimacy of the British launch
off San Shan Kao, some nine miles from Canton.
enclose copy and translation or a despatch addressed to
His Excellency the Anting Viceroy in which the circum-
stances of the case are stated at some length: I venture,
however, to invite your attention to one special not of
the pirates which is not therein mentioned and which goes
to show that the men who took part in the attack were
professional robbers or pirates like those who pirated
the *Sainam" in June of last year. It ay ears from the
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
