JUNK PIRATED.

A BIG HAUL.

The master of a fishing junk made a report to the Water Police Station yesterday that his junk had been pirated. He says that at about 2.30 p.m. on the 15th, he was sailing of Cheung Chau Island, west of Macao when his boat was stopped by another junk and 10'men and Ave women boarded his boat. They were armed with four or five rifles and a Mauser pistol. They ransacked his junk and took away 81,500 in Hong Kong currency, notes, 25,000 in Canton, silver coini, two pairs of gold bangles valued at Newcastle. At the North East $200, and two Chinese muskets. Coast Exhibition, Newcastle, a gold The pirates wore Chinese Army watch was presented to Mrs. Fen-uniforms. therstone, of West Road, Loftus in
