CHINESE PIRATES
THE ATTACK ON THE SUI AN.
VALUABLE LOOT SECURED
(Australian and N. Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, November 21.
The Daily Mail's Hongkong correspondent supplies details of the piratical capture of the steamer Sui An. The pirates, armed with revolvers, assembled the 400 passengers, including 60 Europeans under guard, looted the stores and safes, and stripped the passengers of money and valuables.
' The pirates, whose leader was dressed in female clothing, steered 'the ship miles out of its course and transferred the loot, the value of which was estimated at £70,000, into sampans and got clear away. In the fighting before the pirates secured possession of the ship, three Indian guards were shot dead.
