BIAS BAY PIRATES

CHECK ON THEIR OPERATIONS SUGGESTED USE OF BRITISH * SHIPS. PERMANENT PATROL NOT FAVOURED. (British Official Wireless.l (Received 8, 11.30 a.m.) Rugby, Dec, 7. The Hon. W. C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty ,said that the question of stationing a British ship in Bias Bay to check piracy on the China coast had been considered. Such action had been taken on occasions when it was thought desirable. The establishment of a permanent patrol in Bias Bay, however, was not thought to be a feasible solution of this problem. Asked regarding the new gunboats constructed for use on the China Station, Mr. Bridgeman said that one of them was already in commission and another would be commissioned during the present month. The remaining two were expected to be put into service during the coming year. They were solely for service in China and could not be employed on the high seas, where piracy took place. CAPTAIN LALOR RELEASED. (Received 8. 12.50 a.m.) Tokyo. December 7. Captain Lalor, who. was captured b- Chinese pirates, is reported to have been released without payment of the ransom. —(A. and N.Z.)
