SHANGHAI. November 20
At the very doors of Shanghai, a piracy was committed which the Chinese authorities are endeavouring to keep dark. It appears a junk laden with lienn oil from Dairen, with a crew of eighteen, encountered a pirate craft with 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 10,000 dollars before liberating the junk.
