Gently arrived in San Francisco, tells u story
which lacks confirmation, but ought to be
investigated, of the barbarous treatment
to which three or four hundred Scandina-
vian emigrants are subjected in the doimin-
ions of King Kalakaua. They left home
under contract to work on the Hawaiian
plantations, influenced by the prospect OF
good wages and the glowing language in
which the agent described heavenly eli

land flowing with every delicious Wand
The person who tells tile story escaped after
the most fearful priyations, lie says that
he and his countrymen were practically
sold into slavery and forced to undergo out
rageous toll and suffering. Families were
separated remor5elessly, and men, women

cent storm on the Delaware River. The
bark Beatrice, with a large cargo of fnaphtha

storm of rain and thunder, was struck by
lightning Bolt, explosion and flame fol-

stroke seemed to fall everywhere at once
and the bewildered crew, maddened with
the horror, sprang overheard by the same
