Pirates Overpowered Crew and Re moved All Valuables, Including a Number of Winchesters and 5,00C Rounds of Ammunition. Hong Kong, March 24.—Details of the capture and looting by Chinese pi rates on March 22 near Canton of a launch owned by the Standard Oil company, were obtained Saturday. The launch was proceeding to Kongr mun, between Wampoa and Canton, towing a lighter laden with kerosene oil. While passing what la known aa “second barrier,” in sight of the the Wampoa fort, a number of Junks manned by pirates, closed about the launch and her tow. A hand gren- ado was thrown into her engine room, the pirates boarded the launch and her crew were overpowered. The pirates then beached the vessels and removed all the valuables from them, Including a number of winchester rifles and 6,000 rounds of ammunition. The car go of kerosene was not touched. The pirates, it appears, missed cap turing much more valuable booty. It was the intention of the Standard Oil company's officials to ship 12,000 oa the pller on her last trip, but the shipment of specie waa transferred to a freight steamer. The American cosisular officials ars investigating the affair. Kongtnun, also written Konkung and Konmoon, Is a 'email port thres miles up a creek from the West river, about 87 mile* from Hoag Kong.

In order to prevent disfiguring the door, a large nail or bolt was driven. An im patient caller, waiting for the door to be opened, would frequently use the knocker with great force, and the ir- responsirenees of the nail gave rise to this expression.
