LIMIT OF DARING.
CHINESE PIRATES. ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE CRUISER. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. PEKIN, June 23. The limit of daring hitherto achieved by Chinese pirates was the recent attempt to capture the largest Chinese cruiser, the Hai-Chi, oh Cheioc.
When it was expected the crew ol the Hai-Chi would be ashore on leave, a gang of 33 pirates commandeered .. small Chinese steamer, and compelled the captain to proceed to the Hai-Chi. The latter's crew, however, had not been granted leave, and the pirates were forced to abandon the attempt. The alarm meanwhile was given, and the police charged the gang when landing, and captured eight. The remainder, including the leader, escaped.
