Fast Sailing Over the Pacific


The British bark Galgatc. Captain
Gritiths. a big four master, made
record breaking run on her voyage
from Shanghai to the mouth of the Co.
lumbia, covering the distance from
buoy to buoy in - days The nearest
approach to this record is said to have
been made by one of Renton, Holmes
& Co.'S four maStcd schooncrs, which
made the run from Shanghai to the
sound in 2S days Vessels from Shaug-
hal are less frequent visitors here than
those from Yokohama and otlcr Japan
ports, and the wonderful run of the
Galgatc can be better understood when
it is stated that the voyage from
Shanghai to the Columbia is generally
conceded by shipmasterS to be fully 4
week or ten days longer than the run
from Yokohama. The record passage
from the latter port to the Columbia
river is fraction less than 90 days. the
Selkirll making the record run about
three years ago.
The Galgate's biggest days perform
ance was 295 miles, but in n ten day
run she reeled off over 1900 miles, an
average of over II miles an hour and
a speed which would bother most of
the tramp steamers to maintain.-Port-

that would put even the tiercest can
nibal tribes to shame. In the pres
ence of his fellow criminals, the
shrinking victim is dragged forward,
pinioned securely and held tightly,
whilst the manipulation of the burning
iron proceeds to mark the degrading
distorted features of the sufferer. The
smell Of burning flesh and the heart
rending ShriekS combine to produce n
scene which is so nauseating as to
defy description.
1t has been given out that the use
of the knout as mode of punishment
has been forbidden by the authori-
ties, but that is one of the many spe-
cious pretenses with which the Rus
sian Government seeks to impose up
on outraged humanity. The knout is
as much in use to-day as it ever was.
Only a few days ago a peasant at
Vitebsk, who had been driven from
the district on suspicion Of belonging
to a heterodOX religious sect, was dis
covered by the police who applied
the knout so severely to him that he
died.
1t was reported by the police that
the man had committed suicide in
prison. His fellow workmen learned
the truth and set fire to the barracks
In which the police were lodged. In
consequence of this act some fifty
men and women were at once hurried
off to Siberia.
Not long ago child pupil at one
of the government schools was de-
tected reading a book of fairy tales,
which, 1t seems, had been prohibited
by the censor, who thought that some
of the tales could be applied to Rus
sian political conditions. When ques-
toned as to where he got the book, he
said it had been lent to him by the
caretaker Of the school. This infor.
nation raised the greatest disturbance
imaginable. The principal of the
school reported the caretaker's &C.
ton to the government. with the re-
suit that he took an early departure
for Siberia. This did not end the
trouble, for the school officials who
denounced the principals action as
mean and contemplate were prompt
ly banished from the province for
three years. As the decree included
all their relatives, 100 persons in all
were punished because harmless
lad was seen reading a harmless book
of fairy tales which is read by chit
dren in almost every language.
The especial object of official hatred
seems to be the working people. A
few weeks ago an instance occurred
at wilma, which will furnish a very
good example. A chimney-sweeper
who employed large number Of as
sistants to keep the wilma chimneys
clean, was severely injured by a Wit
riol thrower, but was unable to tell
who had done him the injury. It was
simply assumed that the vitriol must
babe been thrown by one Of the men
working for him, as workmen are al
ways vicious and dangerous. Conse-
quently all the chimney-sweepers in
the town were sent to Siberia, except
ing the one who was injured.
