C. Captain Trefry of Iho British ship Celeste llurrlll , which has arrived hero from the Philippine Islands - lands , with a cargo of hemp and sugar , thinks that his vessel had a narrow escape from being boarded by pirates In the Hun- day straits , a stretch of water formerly as famous for Its Malay ftcebootern as was over the Spanish main for Its buccaneers. According to Captain Trefry's story ha was healing up toward the Sunday straits. When about sixty miles from them ho sighted n boat filled with men. At first ha paid no attention to the boat or HH occu pants. After the llurrlll had passed Now Anjocr. n Dutch military settlement on the coast of Java , and was well Inside the strallB , the boat pulled up rapidly on the slow-moving ship , and finally as It pulled up closer to hnho ( became suspicious. The boat was crowded with sixty or seventy Malays , and when n man who seemed to bo the leadi-fttf Iho party hailed the Uurrlll and asked If they might coma aboard , Captain Trefry shouted baek a re. fusal , but said ono man might come on deck. The boat pulled In alongside of thn shlp , and as soon as the seeming leader of the Malays had grasped the rope and had slarled up the ship's side , Captain Trefry sheered off from the boat. The Malay pre tended that he wanted to sell fruit , but Cap. tain Trcfry doubted his story. After remaining on board for some tlma and the ship having cleared the straits and reached the open sea , the Malay started to his own boat and he and his rough looking companions djsappeared among the Islands.
