on to say that somebody is exploiting
Molokai in the English papers as if to

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-06-03

The London Evening Standard and
st James Gazette contain the follow
ing sensational story OF the escape of
a man from Molokai who had been un-
Justly sent there as leper. The story
is doubtless apochryphal. President
Pinkham of the Board of Health says
so and there is no record of any dis
appearance here such as the story de-
scribes:
When an individual becomes mem
Der of the leper colony of Molokai, In
the Pacific Ocean, he is lost to the
world: there is no cure, no return, ex-
cept in the rare case of an escape, an
almost impossible performance.
1t has, nevertheless, happened, and
that within the past three months. The
facts reveal tragedy and pathos trans
cending fiction, and would scarcely be
believed if it We're not vouched for by
the best authority. For reasons that
will be readily appreciated, it is unde-
Sirable to mention the name of the gem
tleman who. through his brothers help,
has just succeeded in returning to free
dom, if not happiness.
He is Canadian, and was married in
January, 1890. A month later, while
still on the honeymoon, the young cou-
pie visited Honolulu After few days
enjoyment of the life and sights of the
capital of the Sandwich Islands, the
husband at that time a man of %
wears of age, failed to return to the no.
tel for dinner. The anxious wife wait
ed and waited, and finally called in the
assistance of the Hawaiian police, but
he had disappeared as though the earth
had opened and engulfed him.
The young woman cabled to her rela-
tives in British Columbia, and her ia
Their proceeded to her assistance.
Father and daughter remained two
months in Honolulu, and then, as there
was still no tidings of the missing man.
they returned home.
His parents were wealthy, and engag-
ed the services of a well-known Amer
lean detective agency, urging that no
expense should be spared to get at the
facts of the disappearance compe-
tent man was sent to Honolulu, and
after six weeks patient investigation
he discovered what had happened.

CONSIGNED TO LEPER COLONY.

1t seems that shortly after lunch on
the day he disappeared he told his wife
that he was going to the bank to draw
some money, and then he would go to
the club for an hour or SO and return
in time to take her for a drive before
dinner. Immediately after leaving the
bank, where he had drawn 500 dollars,
lie was arrested by four men, and, after
being placed in a carriage, was driven
to the house of native official doctor.
Here, after the most cursory eXamina-
tor he was declared to have leprosy,
and when the necessary papers had
been signed. he was 'drugged.
1t is easier to imagine than describe
what his feelings were when he awoke
to consciousness and found himself
lying in the hold of little vessel bound
he knew not whittier. Although the is
land is less than 40 miles from Homo
lulu, morning had dawned before Molo-
kai was reached. On arrival he was
left to take his place in the company
of over 1000 lepers. 1t was in vain that
he protested, demanded his instant re-
lease, and refused to believe it possible
that he was a prisoner there for life.
When the report was made to the
parents by the detective agency, they
did all in their power to obtain their
sons release, but in vain. Years went
by. The distracted wife died of
broken heart Later his mother died,
and some months afterwards his father
