From these may be selected the occasion when, during the troublous period of 1925, the Wing Lee was proceeding up river when she sighted a huddled crowd of villagers on the river bank, the neighbouring village being in flames,

Bandits Dislodged.

Closing in, the Wing Lee learn- ed from the villagers that bandits had made an attack and were then looting the village. The Wing Lec "browned", the village with appar- ently good effect, the bandita" re- treating inland to the sliciter of a wood where the Wing Lee's ma- chine-guns could not reach them, the launch, in the excitement of the moment, having unfortun ately run aground.

However, the Dom Joan then ar- rived on the scene, and having been lately fitted with a three-pounder, was able to shell the wood and dis- lodge the bandits.

Towards the end of 1927, a motor lighter bound up river reported to H.M.S. Faulknor that she had been threatened with a piratical attack. An armed guard of three was put on board with instructions to keep out of sight, and the Faulknor fof- lowed up about three or four miles out of astern, also keeping well sight. Sure enough, while round- ing the bend into Junction Chan- el, the lighter was attacked, pirates putting off from the shore were met and uncomfortably sur in sampane to capture her. They
