WILD CAROUSAL

FIVE-HOUR FEAST OF CELEBRATION

Shanghai, Jan. 20. The Chinese steamer, Tabua, which left Shangbai for Haimen, on the Chekiang const, on Tues day evening, was pirated soon after passing Woosung.

Four hundred passengers were abeard the Tabua whon the pirate gang revealed themselves and the coup was highly successful, the pirates cscaping with a rich haul.

No fewer than forty men parti- cipated in the outrage and-after they had ransacked the ship from stem to stern, robbing the pussen- gers of everything of value, they proceeded to celebrate their suc- cess in lavish style.

WILD CAROUSAL.

The algual for seizure of the ship was given in the evening soon after the lights of Woosung had disappeared in the distance. The next few hours were spent in gathering together the loot, after which the gang, with the excep- tion of those guarding the bridgo

and the ongine-room, indulged in

a wild carousal in the first-class dining room, feasting, drinking and smoking opium until the early hours of Wednesday morning.

When thoroughly satisfied with their feast, the gang stopped the

ship near Hunniungse Rocks and

disembarked into waiting boats. It seems avident from the fact that boats were waiting ap- pointed place that is at an alr well organised gang of pirates is now operating in the Shanghal
