SWATOW.

DESTROYER STANDS GUARD AGAINST PIRATES.

The steamship Faling Maru, of the Nisshin Kisen Kaisha line, lies beached at Samoa Island, 26 miles outside Swatow, as a result of seri- ous damage done to the forepart of the vessel after it had run into the submerged Glengyle Rock, at Da.m. on February 29. Details of the damage are not known, says the .C. Daily News, but assistance was sent from Shanghai.

The vessel sailed out of Shang- Southern hai, bound for various ports, and on Friday morning was Dense fog approaching Swatow. rendered extreme care necessary in navigation, and the ship therefore cannot have been moving fast when it hit the rock. After a rapid examination the captain realized the only thing he could do was to beath the ship, which he did at Namon Island, a away to the west.

Luckily there is n sandy bottom At Namon Island and the ship was put aground with impunity, on the south side of the island. With southerly winds prevailing at pre- seat, however, there is naturally anxiety over the ship's condition, but it is thought that the work of patching it up safficiently to get to port will not be too complicated. although it will present difficulties.

Immediately the ship was beach ed the captain sent out a wireless message to the Japanese naval depot at the Pescadores Islands, 130 miles away, and a destroyer was despatched to stand by the ship, to guard against any attack that might be made by pirates, and to assist the captain in any possible manner.
