AT DOOR OF SHANGHAI
AUDACIOUS PIRACY JUNK IN PITCHED BATTLE United Service. (Received 21st November, 11 a.m.) SHANGHAI, 20th November. At the very doors of Shanghai * piracy has been committed which the Chinese authorities are endeavouring to keep dark. It appears that a junk laden with beau oil from Dairen, with a crew of eighteen, encountered a pirate craft and sixty men. A regular battle ensued, resulting in the killing of fifteen of the junk's crew and an unknown number of pirates, who, finding the cargo useless for their purposes, demanded and obtained 16,009 dollars before liberating the junk.
