KWANGLEE PIRACY.

OUTRAGE WITHIN SIGHT. OF REPULSE-BAY.

Thrilling details of the piracy of, the a.. Kwangloo were given to a S. C. M. Roet representative yea- terday by a European passenger on that vessel from Shanghai, who was coming to Hongkong.

According to this gentleman's story, the Kwaaglee left Shanghal on July 9 for Canton with general cargo, and approximately 500 Chinese deck passengers, he be ing the only European on board other than the officers..

All went well until Waglan was sighted and signals exchanged, the Kwanglee reporting "All Well." This was. at 11 am on July 13, when Repulse Bay, was in sight, about five milee distant.

At 11,40 a.m. with Repulse Bay atill in sight, there was a commo- tion in the aftorpart, but nothing that gave evidence of a distúr bance beyond the ordinary, when deck passengers are carried. Six Chinese armed with revolvers then appeared on the bridge deck and presenting their weapons at the Captain demanded that he put up. his hands, at the same time polit- ing to the revolvers and saying "Mauser, Mauser," Among the six pirates were two of the ship's quartermasters and when Captain Tollefsen remonstrated with them. they informed him that he would be shot if he did not keep quiet

The upper bridge was then stormed by the pirates, after they had seized the ship's arsonal which is situated in the lower bridg The second officer, was on watch and was surprised by the raiders, who had hitherlo carried out their. seizure of the vessel without any Undue disturbance. Captain Tol- lefson, and other Europeans were then herded into the second off- cer's cabin under cover of the pirates' revolvers, and forced to remain there while their captors. ransacked the ship.

Nothing is known of what hap- pened in other parts of the vessel but it is certain that one of the pirates kept a watch on the bridge and directed the Chief Officer to steer the Kwanglee to Bins Bay.

At Bias Bay.

At approximately 5 p.m. the Kwangle grounded outside Bins Bay, owing to lack of knowledge of the pilot who was operating with the pirates, although the Chief Officer was at the time on the bridge, nominally in charge, but under cover of a pirate's revolver.

Efforts were made by the pirates to float the ship off by jettisoning cargo, but this being withont effect, Captain Tollefsen leased for the purpose of getting her afloat again, but nothing, res sulted.

was re-

The pirates then ordered two lifeboats to be lowered and into these they piled their loot consist- ing of the portable valuables and currency which had been collected from the passengers. Whilst this operation was being carried out, a junk from shore came alongside and this was in turn commandeered by the pirates for the conveyance to shore of the bulkier seizuros.

The lifeboats were subsequently abandoned and the junk made use of entirely, the pirates eventually leaving the vessel at about 6.30 p.m. laking with them six of the wealthier Chinese

passengers who, it is understood, will be held for ransom. The Kwanglee was refloated shortly before midnight on that day and proceeded to Can- 'ton.

All the European officers of the Kwanglee were searched, whilst all valuables in their cabins were taken, amongst which were cigarette cases, rings, watches, and private papers.

Other effects which were seized included many items of personal equipment. The extent of the losses of officers and passengers is not known. The Kwanglee arrived at Canton at 4. p.m. on Thursday and passengers remaining on board reached Hongkong by the Lungshan yesterday afternoon to convey the first authentic news of the outrage.

It is understood that in the raid- ing of the ship two members of the compradore's 'staff were, wounded, one with an axe, and another by a revolver shot through the knee. Another Chinese, a passenger, was shot through the ankle, There were no other casualties.

A Canton message received in Hongkong last night, reports that the value of the haul by the pirates. is put at $200,000.
