“Manila, April 15.  A pirate raid is reported from Jolo, where a Japanese pearl-fishing bout was found adrift and looted.  The crew of the pearler are missing, and are believed to be murdered.  The Mataja Lighthouse has also been attacked and robbed, presumably by the same band.  Gunboats have been sent to investigate.”  New York Times, April 15, 1912.
