BOARDED BY PIRATES. A somewhat startling tale of the sea was given by the captain of the British s.s. Kilburn, which arrived at Yokohama on October f.. It appears that when the vessel, coalladen, was passing down the Arabian coast, she. was boarded and ransacked by some 300 pirates. They made away with personal belo/igings of the crew, the ship's; furniture and every article of. a movable ' nature. Then they took the, crew captive, and; demanded that the captain should-pay. a ransom. This he-:did by producing.nbout jGlOOlin gold, his ship' then being ashore, but several' British sailors escaped, and applied for protection. to the Turkish Government:, which despatched .ft 'warship to the scene of the Kilburn's grounding. A few of .the pirates were captured, andthe'balance of crew released.' An effort to float the steamer.was successful, and-though her troubles had extended into-twenty days she was able to continue her voyage. ....

The accident occurred at 2.30 on Friday morning, 'and for over 1700 miles the vessel was kept on her course solely by the manipulation of her twin screws. The rudderless ship came' :into port without assistance. Later, declining ■the aid of tugs, she left again for Cherbourg and Bremen. The daily runs'of the-vessel ,were 485,' 489, 404, 406, 302, 416, and 385 miles. To the Eddystone the average speed was 18.66 knots. From Friday morning,, when he rushed to the bridge at the time, of the mishap, Captain Polack never left his post, even to sleep, until the Scilly Isles were passed. "The ship ■steered remarkably well by her engines," he said, "and I never had any doubt but that we should reafeh. Plymouth in safety. We were offered aid by 21 vessels." .
