About twenty-five convicts try TO

Scarcely half of this number ever

captured before they have enjoyed
freedom a day, and each man is
straightway given a hundred lashes

cures the convict OF any further de-
sire for freedom or kills him: but

persists in making a break for liberty

But there is more than one way to

finding its way into the hands of the
populace. Let a murderer get filled
with vodka, and he will probably re-
peat his crimel and let his fellows
know that he has bottle of the liquor

While trading in the island I had TO
come in contact with many criminals,
some with exceedingly brutal and re-
pulsive crimes back Of them. My
escort from trading post to trading
post was a man who had killed an
other in a quarrel over a woman.
Most of the employees in my stores
were murderers. and bartered almost
exclusively with murderers and per-

never had one man threaten me;
found them honest in trade and I

Even the Saghalien murderers are
human. Treat them as men, as one of
your kind. and they appreciate 1t and
viii reciprocate your kindness. All
the traders on the island go on this
principle. and as a result it is safe for
them to go about with a good deal of
freedom. They go armed, and secure
an escort from the government merely
to be able to cope with the exception
that MAY come along some day to
prove the rule. I am acquainted with
the commercial history of the island
for fifteen years back. and l know OF
only half a dozen traders having been
murdered in that time; and they were
