They worked coolly and al- .most leisurely. being quite eonlident ithat they had nothing to fear. They talked with the otl’ieers, who thought it wise to pretent atl‘ahility, and told them that they had been plan'- ning the. adventure for months. and had sunk 33.000 in it... They said that their women folks in Bias Bay were starving, and this drove. them to plot the seizure of the ship and her ear- go. The two main (.litl'ieulties in their way they did not seem to un- derstand. One was that they knew nothing: of nayigation, and had no idea where the Captain was steer- ing the ship. They knew ()hilang Point when they saw it, for it was. a landmark of Bias Bay, but whether it was a hundred or thousand miles away they did not know. Nor were they able to keep tho (ilfit‘el‘s from communicating with each other. having: an imperfect. knowledge of English. So the officers and the one woman passenger were able to diseuss the situation. They deter- mined to make an effort to recap- ture the vessel upon the. first oppor- tunity.

At one time the pirates were in complete possession of the ship. and at. another it seemer that. the tire they had started on the. vessel would destroy her and all on board. But in the end ten or more pirates were shot dead by the English otticms, another dozen were taken as prison- ers to [long Kong. while another lioat load of them was picked up by another vessel. The pirates' casual- ites. therefore, would appear to haw. been about one hundred per cent. (Jimmient in China is to the. eli'ert that. battle on the.
