PIRATES AGAIN

ACTIVE

Trading Launch Surprised And Robbed

The latest victim of the China coast pirates is a large trading launch which plies between Can ton and San Mel. The pirated launch is the On Ping of 147, tons net and 274 tons gross to hage.

From reports which were made; to the police yesterday. It appears that the On Ping left, Canton for a direct trip to San Mel on Satur- day at 1 pm. The launch had a crew of thirty and carried 80 passengers besides a cargo of sun- dries.

She cleared at the Taishan Customs Station at 7 o'clock, the next morning. At about 10.15 a.m. twelve of the eighty passengers revealed their real identity and producing arms, took control of

the boat. The spot where the act of piracy took place was ten miles South of Tal-Q, in Chinese waters.

Compradore Kidnapped The pirates took the launch to Halmun Bay which is quite pear Macao. There they commandeered two sampans and took ashore the launch's compradore, named Tsol Wan Tong, and two other passen gers, whose names are unknown The sampans were last seen row- ing towards the shore.

After taking possession, the pirates ransacked the ship, taking with them all available cash be- longing to the launch and her passengers, amounting to $1,500. They also took some of the passen gers property and part of the cargo.
