Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 20, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba The horrors of tic India slave to Irstle. The horrors still Pei potuateil1 in the Eastern seas arc exemplified in a letter of a special correspondent of the daily Telegraph. Trio last Butch of slaves rescued from Arab clutches arrived Al Seychelles on sunday August Tho 1373. They wore captured by ii m s vulture. The vulture was Stein Init into Maju Ngel n Post on Tho a a kit of Madagascar when a Largo dhow made out inshore of the ship. The Arab had such an inno cent look about him that capt Brooke who a pressed for time us in two minds the incr to Board him or not. A group of Tui Btu Oil rascals standing in a Circle on Tho poop deemed to be convers ing apparently unconscious of or indifferent to the proximity of the cruisers. It was a dead Calm mid the Largo Lagoon sail Hung idly flapping against the Mast. A puff or two of wind of an hours Dura Tion when Tho dhow was sighted and Bho might have reached the Thoro. It was the knowledge of the utter helplessness that doubtless promoted the arabs to assume an air of Carol esd in difference by the display of which they hoped to throw Tho englishman off guard. But Tho ruse did not succeed Captain Brooke s indecision lasted Only for a moment. The a lip w head was Laid direct for the dhow and then and not before a stir wan observed among the arabs. It was of no use however the made its Way up Tho House accompanied by or Kennaly who took the oath and Tho speaker s hand and then sub sided. Building season in fat hand _ the undersigned will sell you flatted Oak Timber building Stone dhow would not move she stuck just like a painted ship upon a painted when the vulture was near enough a boat in charge of a Young Oili cer was sent on Board Tho Arab Whoso True character and the nature of his cargo was soon made known. On go ing below Tho men found a Frame work of Bamboo constructed on each Side of the hold ranging fore and aft in which 242 human beings were packed i for up on tier like bottles in a rack. The occupants of a Jyh tier were placed in the closest personal Contact with each other 10 much so in fact that to use the men s homely phrase they Frei of really stowed away like Herrings in a cask.1 when taken out and placed up the deck their Limba wore useless they were seized with vertigo and fell from sheer inability to stand. Some were found in a truly shocking condition. One or two Young children were found crushed to death. Tho lower tier had Boon Laid upon Tho Sand Bouast and was half buried. One poor woman was really buried with Tho exception of her face her Mouth was full of Sand and when taken out she was on the Point of suffocation. Tho mortality among a Batch of wog Roea must to sometimes frightful not Only on Board the dhows but also daring Tho journey Down from the Interior. There was a woman in this lot who if her statement is to be credited was the Only survivor of a numerous band. Six months since Bhe roamed free As air in her native Village in Tho Middle of Africa. The arabs wept with fire and sword the Village was Burnt and Tho greater number of Tho women and children were made prisoners. Then common cod weary March of four months duration. Fresh accessions of slaves were made As they passed along on their Way to Tho coast. Men achoo women fell by the Wayside and were left to die in the Jungle. Young children withered like plucked leaves and the arabs to these More merciful struck off their Heads and threw them aside. I leave Tho Reader s imagination to picture the blows the hunger Tho thirst the fatigue the bodily suffering the accumulation of horrors which must have Encomb. Passe 1 even Tho mind of an untutored Savage on such a March and in such Lawless com Pany. The woman has survived them All but she is alone. Of All Tho band captured with her Ahe states that she Only has escaped Alivo to Tell Tho sickening the scene presented in Tho English House of commons on Tho Entrance of a Kenealy have Boon excessively droll. He attempted to go through the ceremony of introduction without any one to introduce him but or speaker Brand refused to allow it and the Doc Tor withdrew. At the suggestion of or Disraeli who said the ceremony was in tended As a certificate of identity leave was granted to Tho sex barrister and q 0 to enter alone when presently the big umbrella which had during the former Ficenko been Hung on the end of the Mace it is always better to pass a dozen in tended Iii Kilts without recognition than to take offence at a single unintentional neglect or reflection. Misunderstand Are fruitful of More unkindly idol i hits in society than Over result from do i Gorac ill nature. Hundreds of Friend ships have been Nundo red by that egotistical sensitiveness which is Over look ing for Oft no. To can All Point to contain who arc thus morbidly of Sensitivo to a painful degree. They Are disagreeable companions. We need not spend our precious tune in pointing to them however. We have each some thing to guard in our own character. We arc each inclined to take offence too easily. A five could remove this Over jealous watchfulness society would gain a new Charm or rather it would to relieved of a very disagreeable feature. Pass neglect then and personal reflect As gracefully As possible instead of taking Tho risk of being offended when no Ohio no its intended.
