the American boat before she coulo
comply with the order TO stop,
Capt Chau decided to attempt TO es-
cape and started ahead at fun speed
The Petrol then opened fire with all her
guns, and about 20 shots struck the Sill
ven Spray.
Two shots struck the pllothouse, in
which Capt. Chau stood at the wheel
one shot came within few inches or
Chau, scattering a myriad Of splinters
around his head.
That no one was killed Is miraculous,
as two shots struck the cabin, two

The chase was kept up for some time,
but when Capt, Chau got across the
