Somewhat earlier hi the year, a little further to the southward, a horde of lilack pirates attacked and looted the German steamer, Asoan Wocrmann. .N'ear Shanghai, during the same week, two launches were attacked by several tiundred pirates while steaming down the river, three passengers being killed and cargo valued al $15,000 carried off; wtil'c only the other day a determined' attempt was made by nomad Arab trilesmen to coipture a British steamer plying on the Kuiihrates, several of her pussengers and crew being killed or wounded by rifle fire.
