A WOMAN SOLD by PIRATES.
Capt. RaIford's wife Had a Terrible
Experience OF the Coast of China.


Experience OF the Coast of China.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Capt. G. Erickson of New York was in
this city yesterday. He has just completed
his fourth tour of the globe. having left
Shields. England, for Hong Kong, thence
to Sydney, Australia, and home via Cape
Horn to New York. While on the steam
er Carmelita, bound from Annoy to Hong
Kong, Capt. Erickson was chased by pi-
rates, but succeeded in getting clear by
dint of hard steaming.
The English bark Eliza, Capt. Ralford,
from London. which followed soon after,
vas not so fortunate. She was becalmed,
Capt. Erickson said yesterday, and was
boarded by about 200 pirates, headed by a
Mexican named Alvarez. The crew of the
eliza, after stubborn resistance, were
disarmed and confined in the chain locker,
with the exception of the captain, car
penter and an apprentice lad. Alvarez
shot the caDtain three times, first in the
head, but the bullet glanced round the
skull, then in the arm and side. The car
penter and apprentice took refuge in the
foretop. The pirates left the captain for
dead, looted the cabin, and after making
hole in the bottom of the vessel. de-
parted, taking Mrs Ralford with them.

down the. rigging and releasing the rest
of the crew managed to get a boat out
before the ship sunk
The captain was only stunned. and was
taken into the boat. After experiencing
some suffering for want of food and wa
ter, they were picked up by the steamer
Venitzia and taken to Hong Kong. As
soon as Capt. Ralford recovered from his
wounds he disguised himself as a China
man, and as he spoke the language flu
emily, this was not difficult. His object
was to find his wife. For three weeks he
Travelled about, and at last found that she
had been sold as slave by the Mexican
to rich mandarin. With the aid of two
English detectives he bought her back for
$500 Alvarez was afterward arrested by
the British at Hong Kong and tried and
condemned as a pirate. Out of consldera-
ton for the fact that he had been an Of
hcer in the army he was shot instead of
being hanged. Mrs Ralford was so en-
Filtered against Alvarez that she shot
him three times while on his way to the
place of execution and thus saved the ma
rines some powder and ball. Alvarez is
believed to have led the attack on the
British steamship Victoria about three
years ago.
