POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 11th November, 1885.

SIR, I have the honour to report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that I hear that owing to the successful arrangements of the Chinese Authorities for the suppression of salt smugglers, these men have lost their usual employment, and it is probable that they will resort to Piracy. It would therefore be advisable for all small steamers and sailing vessels to take some precautions against attacks.
