Miss Hornell, who is a niece of Sir William Hornell, arrived in the Colony from Swatow on Wednes day, and was intervlowed by B Press representative in the study of the Vice-Chancellor's residence yesterday.

about 22, were all armed, except onc, a small man who was their accomplice, He carried a large

knife.

"The pirates never threatened to shoot," she remarked, · "The captain told me the pirato -chief had said that if the officers carried their orders nothing would out happen..

"The pirate chief knew nothing about navigation. · As a matter of fact, the Cuptain never steered of the normal course. All lights were kept on. The officers were marvellous throughout.

Exciting Experience.

"For my part, I may say I had a miraculous escape. The officers thought the pirates were going to take me as hostage, That was rather hair raising. The whole experience itself was thrilling, but now It is over I can look back upon it as an adventure."

Miss Hornell has been staying for three weeks at Swatow with her uncle, Mr. H. D. Hillard, Commlastoner of Customs, and has come to Hongkong for her wedding. She is to be married this month to Major H. St, G. Thoyts of the 1st Bn. The Lincolnshiro Regt, for- merly stationed in Shanghai.
