PIRATES ATTACK SHIP IN BAHAMAS

Gang Is Repulsed and Chieftain Thrown Overboard. Galveston, Tex., Nov. 30.—Armed with clubs and knives, thirty pirates boarded the British steamship Rewan Moore in the Providence channel, Bahama islands. They were driven away when their chieftain had been thrown overboard by the British crew. This information was brought here by the gulf transport liner Indore. The Rowan Moore left Galveston In October. Officers of the Indore say that ths Rowan Moore was deceived by signals of distress from the pirate ship and that when it hove alongside the pirates scrambled aboard. All were natives or Greeks, according to the Indore officers’ version.
