A fight ensued, which terminated in the entire capture of the ship's guards by the robbers, who immediately landed with their prisoners, and allowed the launch and junk to go in peace. The funny part of it was the catire absence of the usual plundering of the passenger's baggages, and the ransacking of the cash boxes on the boats It is believed that the object of the robb capturing the guards is to demand ransoms their various relations.
