GRAPHIC NAVAL STORY OF PIRACY RESCUE

SEAPLANE STRUCK

BY BULLET

THAT

A GRAPHIC STORY REVEALING BRITISH NAVAL AIRMEN WERE COMPELLED TO DROP A WARNING BOMB BEFORE THE FOREIGN PRISONERS OF THE SHUNTIEN PIRATES WERE RELEASED, HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED BY AD- MIRAL SIR FREDERIC DREYER TO THE AD

MIRALTY.

One of the seaplanes engaged in bringing moral pressure on the pirates after they had been located was struck by bullets from the gang.

Apparently, Mr. Grahame Nicholl was set free for the purpose of opening ransom negotiations for the other four British prisoners, but detection of the pirates by the aircraft, the dropping of messages in Chinese, threatening the employment of force, caused a hasty reconsideration of the position by the pirates.

It is also reported by the rescued naval officers that Mr. Yamamoto, the Japanese prisoner, was sent in a junk to Tientsin by the pirates to arrange terms, but no report has yet been received of his rescue.
