On the tenth day of the fifth moon the Governor-general went to Kaou chow to make preparations for fighting. Our commander pursued after the pirates with a great and strong body of troops; he met Neaou sh[)i]h url at Tan chow, and they fought a great battle. Neaou sh[)i]h url saw that he was not strong enough to withstand them, and tried to escape; but the Major, Fei teaou hwang,[103] gave orders to surround the pirates. [sd: (23 r.)] They fought from seven o'clock in the morning till one at noon, burnt ten vessels, and killed an immense number of the pirates. Neaou sh[)i]h url was so weakened that he could scarcely make any opposition. On perceiving this through the smoke, Chang paou mounted on a sudden the vessel of the pirate, and cried out: "I Chang paou am come," and at the same moment he cut some pirates to pieces; the remainder were then hardly dealt with. Paou addressed himself in an angry tone to Neaou sh[)i]h url, and said: "I advise you to submit, will you not follow my advice, what have you to say?" Neaou sh[)i]h url was struck with amazement, and his courage left him. Leang po paou advanced and bound him, and the whole crew were then taken captives. [Sidenote: 1810.] [sd: (23 v.)] Seeing that Neaou sh[)i]h url was taken, his elder brother Yew kwei would have run away in all haste; but the admirals Tung and Tsuen mow sun pursued, attacked, and took him prisoner. The government officers Kung gao and Hoo tso chaou took the younger brother of Neaou sh[)i]h url, called Mih yew keih, and all the others then made their submission. Not long after this the _Scourge of the eastern ocean_ surrendered voluntarily, on finding himself unable to withstand; the _Frog's meal_ withdrew to Luzon or Manilla. On the twentieth of the same month, the Governor-general came to Luy chow, and every officer was ordered to bring his prizes into the harbour or bay of Man ke. There were taken fighting five hundred pirates, men and women; three thousand four hundred and sixty made their submission; there were eighty-six vessels, two hundred and ninety-one guns, and one thousand three hundred and seventy-two pieces of various military weapons. [sd: (24 r.)] The Governor-general ordered one of his officers to kill[104] the pirate Neaou sh[)i]h url with eight others outside the northern entrance of Hae k[)a]ng hëen,[105] and to behead Hwang h[)o] with one hundred and nineteen of his followers. The _Scourge of the eastern sea_ submitting himself voluntarily was not put to death. [Sidenote: 1810.]
