The officer Commanding the Sandpiper* is of opinion that this incident would have a good effect on the River.\n\n9. My submission No.582 of the 11th August 1899 will have acquainted their Lordships with my opinion of the necessity of another vessel of the \"Sandpiper\" class for patrolling the West River. The \"Tweed\" is available for service between Fuch-au and Samshui, but has too great a draught for navigating in safety the numerous creeks and canals between Samshui and Canton.\n\n10. A second or third vessel patrolling these rivers would certainly have a good effect, though their movements would probably be watched, and advantage taken of their being in another part of the River for any attacks to be made on vessels. Still, it should decrease the evil,\n\n11. To effectually Police the North and West Rivers, relieving China of her responsibilities in this respect, would take more vessels than are at my command of a suitable type, and I think would be perhaps better, certainly more cheaply, done by a Water Police Force stationed at the various ports, with fast steam boats at their disposal. The Governor of Hong Kong has had this matter under his consideration, and if so ordered, I would submit a scheme in agreement with him.\n\n12. The trade of China now suffers as much as ever from the lawlessness that prevails and which it is of course really the duty of China to suppress, if she pretends to Sovereign Rights.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(ed).\n\nB.H.SEYMOUR.\n\nVice Admiral.\n\nPage 100\n\n-end tape no Bometungo nima to su bearrotat tomovon eft .2\n\n#\n\n...",

The \"Sainam\" returned to Canton\n\nearly next morning arriving at 2 p.m. on the 14th when an enquiry was held by me.\n\nREMARKS.\n\nThere are several points in this case which are de-\n\nserving of remark.\n\n1. The large number of pirates, probably fifty or\n\nmore, engaged in it and the comparatively small value of\n\nthe loot in proportion to the risk run by the robbers.\n\n2. The deliberate intention shown to murder the\n\nEuropeans on board.\n\n3. The ease with which the plot was carried out witn-\n\nout any defence being made. The explanation shows an ex-traordinary want of foresight and precaution against such\n\nan occurrence. The number of passengers who shipped at\n\nKumchuk and Kaukong was far in excess of the ordinary\n\naverage a fact very suspicious in itself but this appears to have passed quite unnoticed.
