Chinese officials have not officially confirmed the details of the thwarted piracy on the high seas, but the facts came from highest authority.

The Chinese passenger, according to reports received here, broke into the radio room of the merchant -hip Te.nhang, owned bv Taiwan Shipping and forced the operator to stand by while he smashed the equipment. The passenger then dashed to the ship's bridge and. poking a gun in the ribs, ordered him to change cour for Shanghai. The ship, which had sailed from Hong Kong, was enroute to Keelung. An alert seaman, working on the bridge roof, the gun being poked at his captain and leaped on the bat k.
