Bad Men Wanted To
Hunt Chinese Pirate:
(By Associated Press'*
HONG KONG, March 27.—Young
men spoiling for an adventourous
life may shortly be given an oppor
tunitv to fight Chinese pirates from
motor patrol boats.
At any rate the Hong Kong chain
ber of commerce and the Merchant’s
service officers organization, exas
perated at the speed of piracy in the
Chinese waters and the complete
failure of official methods to cope
with the evil, are taking steps to es
tablish a fleet of patrol boats man
ned by volunteers for the hazardous
duty of cleaning out the pirates’ nests
in Bias bay and other places.
Every patrol boat will be armed
with machine guns and equipped with
a wireless. Whenever it gets a tip
that a merchant vessel is mysteri
ously off its course, as though pirate
bands (masquerading as passengers)
had seized it and were running it in
to one of the innumerable coves on
the coast for plunder, it will be the
patrol boat’s duty to find the vessel
and stick alongside until the pirates
attempt to land. Then there will
be a scrap, probably a nasty one
but it hoped that about a year ol
pugnasity would be followed there
after by peace in Chinese waters.
Such is the “minority scheme” as
it is caled, for coping with the evil
The “majority scheme"—signed bj
a majority of the members of the
special commission which has been
studying the problem—merely pro
poses an extension of the present
system of putting grilles throughout
the ship in which the Chinese pas
sengers, especially those of the coo
lie class, can be locked up during the
voyage, and thus prevented from tak
ing the ship. Such grilles, however,
have been in use now for two years
with the result that the pirates them
selves bought themselves good wear
ing apparel and booked passage as
first-class passengers, whereupon it
was even easier than before for them
to seize the ship, kill or lock up the
officers, terrorize the crew and run
the vessel ashore at leisure.
But a fleet of patrol boats, man
ned by white men who would rather
fight than eat, will do more to dis
courage piracy than anything else, ac
cording to thosie now resolutely push
ing the minority scheme.

Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce is
D. K. Blair and his offices are in the
Chartered Bank building, Hong Kong.
