PAST YEARS. RECORD OF PIRACY,

An italian Ship Seized by Riff Pirates In
tho Meditcl -anean-Two british Steam
ers Looted IN Malacca Strait -Bartels,
the Bucceneer of the Pacific Coast.
That piracy on tho high seas is by no
means thing of the past-that it did not
cease with tho suppression of tho bucca-
ncors OF tho Spanish main-is we'll known.
But the past yoar seems to have been espc-
ciaily prolific in piratical deeds, and proves
that tho maritime powers will have to de-
vote some of their ships to tho suppression
OF this crime against the laws of nations
and tho welfare of mankind
The last important piracy was commit
ted something over two months ago when
ship bound from New York to Mar
soillcs was captured by pirates soon after
sho had entered tho Mediterranean son. 1t
was tho italian ship Frcduciu command

touched an armed band of Riffs swarmcd
around her in their boats and boarded
her. The Riffs ovcrpowercd tho crew and
stripped tho vessel of all tho money and
clothing on board and of everything else
movable. Then they took the captain and
several sailors to hold for ransom and put
ashore, promising to return and dispose of

Whilo tho pirates were ashore breeze

Europe out of the pirates reach So far
us is known, tho captain has not been ran

to punish the Riffs.
About two months before this Italian
ship was captured by pirates in the Mcdi-
terrancan British steamship passing
through tho strait of Mnlaccu was cap
