HORRORS OF SIBERIA.
Brutal Scenes Witnessed by Captured
Sailors.

Louis A. Paradyce, sailor, who arrived
at San Francisco, CAL. from China on the
Gaelic, tells story Of horrible treatment in
Siberian prisons. He was on the sealing
schooner Mary a. Thomas, and with another
sailor named Wilson went ashore on the coast
of Kamsckatka to fill water casks. A hurri-
cane drove the schooner off and they were
left ashore. They had no provisions and
travelled inland to a camp OF Russian So
diers, where they were seized and accuse o.
being spies, and sent to Carazock, convict
station. Although Wilson and himself were
roughly treated, they were not fogged as
other prisoners were.
There were about G00O convicts at the
station, and every Wednesday those who
had disooeyed rules turing the week were
given fifty lasheS VITA the knout. A woman
was knouted, and three hours later gave
birth to q dead child. OF 5000 convicts
IN camp 1900 wore a ball and chain.
Many men were too feeble to walk, and
were dragged along by their co:noanions,
while soldiers would prod them with bay
onets to make them move more quickly
Tue convicts were fed with black bread and
raw meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson We're taken
to Vladlvostock, and from there were sent
to the Kara gold fields, a fifteen
days Journey. They suffered fright
fully from hunger ana fatigue.
Wilson gave out ami mai to be carried i'll
a wagon. The United States ship Marion
arrived at Vladivostoct: and the officers
were informed by a merchant name !
Smith OF Paradyce and Wilson's
fate The commander of the Marion
demanded that the prisoners be given up
and after considerable delay this was done
They were taken to Shanghai on the Mar
ion and placed in hospital. AS soon as
Paradyce was able to travel he WAS sent to
hong Kong on the Gaelic and thence came
here.
