SAILOR rkArPED IN RUSSIA
Paws Pretty Dearly for Getting Drunk In
tho Cars Do0sin.


San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-John Ellis
Olsen. who says he was the only Ameri-
can prisoner ever confined at that most
dreaded of Russian prisons. Saghelien
Island, of the Siberian coast and who
made his escape from that place of con-
finement about year ago, after en-
countering many adventures and vicissi-
tudes, is once more back in his home in
this city. which he left in 1891.
Olsen is son of August Olsen. who in
early days kept a hotel. He was born
in Detroit, Mich, about thirty years ago,
and when a boy / year old came TO this
city with his parents. Being Of q row.
ing disposition, he shipped out of this
port on a sealing schooner in 1891, and
made two or three trips from Yokohama
with the seal hunters. He finally join
ed an expedition to Copper Island. but
on arrival at vladivostock got drunk
and upon recovering from the effects of
his debauch found himself in prison un-
der suspicion of being spy or an an
archist. He was detained in this prison,
and during that time was unable to
| make known his identity, he says, for
the reason that none of the officers of
the prison could speak English. AT the
end OF five days, he says, he was placed
on steamer and sent to Saghalien.
Inere ne was put 10 work with the oth-
| er prisoners building fort. The prison
ers worked in squads of ten. each squad
being in charge of a soldier guard and
from the size and appearance of the
| fort, it was intended simply as an object
| to keep the prisoners at work. He was
| subsequently allowed the freedom of the
| island on parole, but each of his efforts
to smuggle letters to his friends was
frustrated. He ultimately arranged with
| the captain of Japanese fishing junk
| to transport him and was packed in a
| cask among a cargo of salmon and
reached Hakodate in safety. Thence he
| went to Yokohama as stowaway in a
steamer. From Yokohama he says he
| went to Port Said and from there 70
| Gibraltar. He next made Liverpool and
| from there shipped as sailor on a ves-
| sci bound for Newport. r. /. The cap
| tain of the, vessel interested himself in
| the young sailor and secured him half
| rate railway ticket to st. Louis. From
that city he tramped and rode on brake
beams. to San Francisco, arriving a,
that point two weeks ago. five years
from the time Of his departure.
| Olsen has not been able to find any OF
his relatives since his arrival. He is en-
| deavoring to get the authorities to take
| some action in his case with a view to
| causing the Russian government to in
| demnify him for his Imprisonment.
