FLIXING's 'plain unvarnished tale' Its full face value. The question of accurately placing the responsibility for this latest chapter of egregious blundering may not be so easily decided, although the field is as the exact relations a narrow one, between the Hongkong Executive and the resident Senior Naval Officer when any emergency like this piracy business arises are somewhat of a mystery-at all events they have not been properly defined of late years, and are certainly not well known to the public. It is clear enough, however, that the blame for any delay that took place in starting la pursuit of the pirates rests between the late Acting Governor and Commodore CHURCH; which one of these twain is justly to blame will
no doubt be decided hereafter,
