Bias Bay Headquarters Of
Sea Thieves Rebuilt
After Attack.
By the Associated Press.


HONGkONG, July 21.-Pirates still
operate at Bias Bay, despite the de-
structive British raid on that notori'
GUS pirate stronghold, near Hongkong,
last March.
The Norwegian steamer Solvikan,
which left Hongkong Tuesday for
Saigon, was attacked by pirates. Two
of it's officers were wounded and the
shin was steered to Bias Bay, where
last night it was looted Of 100000
worth Of gold bars and the belongings
of the passengers. The sea raiders
also carried off the Solviken's Chinese
steward, six Chinese passengers and
a boy.
You can tell them to send their
airplanes, but they won't find US, "
growled the pirate leader in fluent
English to the chief officer Of the
plundered steamer as the pirates went
over the side into the ships boats.
which they also stole.
The pirates employed the customary
method for looting ships in this re-
gion. They boarded the Solviken at
Hongkong disguised as passengers.
Then when the ship had cleared port
they fell upon the officers in a surprise
attack. Capt. Richard Gentoft was
shot down and seriously wounded.
Second Officer Johnson grappled with
two pirates, but was shot in the arm
and overpowered.
The pirate leader threatened to kill
all the white officers of the Solviken II
his orders to steer the ship to Bias
Bay were not obeyed.
A British punitive expedition in.
ficted much damage at Bias Bay dur.
ing March.
Following various depredations by
the pirates, a naval expedition com.
manded by Rear Admiral Boyle pro.
ceeded to Bias Bay from Shanghai.
Landing parties, using fire and explo-
sives. demolished about hundred
houses and sank number Of junks
and sampans. The villagers fled when

CHINA MAIN TOPIC
PACIFIC MEET
Sir Frederick Whyte Arouses
Comment by Admission of
British Modification.
BY Gable 10 The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1927.

HONOLULU, July 21.-Chinai is
proving one of the main themes Of
the three-day discussions of the Insti-
tute of Pacific Relations in session
here. Sir Frederick Whyte, first
president of the Indian Legislative
Assembly and chairman CT the Brit
ish delc Sation. has Housed comment
by admitting frankly that Great Brit
ain was modifying substantially its
policy toward China.
He has followe! this With a mono
graph III which he outlines the rela-
tons of China to other powers. His
paper constitutes historical survey
dividing Chinese relations with the
outside World into four periods.
Chief Research Contribution.
The first was the period of scc,l-
sion and foreign exclusion from early
times. Then from 1898 TO 1873 came
the period of European admission.
From 1873 to the Great War was the
period of European aggression, and
from 1900 onward, has been q period
OF revolt.
The pamphlet is the chief contribu
ton in research that England makes
to the Honolulu conference, and has
been published under auspices of the
Royal Institute of International At
farS.
Americans are particularly inter
ested in Sir Frederick's recognition
of the part played by the United
States in maintaining the integrity of
China
After detailing tho various conces.
sions and leases which Russia, Japan,
Germany, Great Britain and France
obtained before 1899 from China he
concludes:
Not only did the open door seem
closed forever as a result of this op-
Grafton, but also the doctrine of
spheres of influence looked like a
mask for partition. President McKln-
ley then inquired of the powers
whether they adhered to the principle
Of the open door. Great Britain as
sented without reserve, the other pow.
ers with qualifications. while Russia
was evasive and hostile. The purpose
Of the United States was to secure
declarations only. But the powers
had warning that more or less dis
interested party had taken note of
their proceedings"
