Battle of Tysami

Chui A-poo is said to have commended over 500 junks in his career as an outlaw and was a follower of Shap Ng-tsai, another famed pirate of the era.

Commander Hay ordered that on October 1, the remaining junks be attacked so he sent a letter to Rear Admiral Sir Francis Augustus Collier requesting reinforcements while he prepared for another action with the pirates.

Under Commander John Willcox, Fury arrived off Bias Bay where the Columbine and Canton were anchored.

Rear Admiral Collier agreed with Hay's request and dispatched the small six gun sloop-of-war HMS Fury to the scene along with boats of marines from HMS Hastings.
