BRITISH SHIP ATTACKED
WORK OF CHINESE PIRATES
THE VESSEL SET ON FIRE SOME OFFICERS WOUNDED By Telegraph—PreM Asan.—Copyright. Peking, Nov. 16. When the British steamer Sunning was bound from Shanghai to Hong-Kong, pirates, disguised as passengers, endeavoured to gain control between Amoy and Hong Kong. Determined resistance resulted in the setting of the ship on fire, the wounding of officers and the taking away of two Europeans. The warship Blue Bell was standing by, but with great difficulty on account of the high seas. The latest wireless message states that the Blue Bell captured a boatload ot pirates and is searching for the Europeans. It is understood that the flames were subdued.
