/. MORE ABOUT ATLAS.
Ten sailors from the alleged "hell
ship" Atlas were brought across the
Pacific from Japan by the steamer
Nontara and landed at Seattle. The
story of The cruelty pra,:iced upon
these men by Captain Amberman and
his mates during the passage of the
Atlas from New York to Yokohama
WAS recently published. The entire
crew OF more than score of men left
the ship at her destination, and their
complaints were thoroughly investi
gated by Consul-General Miller.
When the Montara was about to
leave Yokohama for this coast, eight
of the Americans from the Atlas were
provided by Consul-General Miller with
passage home on the vessel. Twelve
others from the Atlas slowed away on
the Montara. but they were subse |
quently discovered and put ashore at |
Mororan. Two of them, an American
and an Australian, succeeded in hiding |
away again on the Montara, finally |
reaching Seattle. The Australian. being |
classed as a foreigner, will be sent |
back 10 Japan.
The ten sailors repeated to the off,
GERS and men of the Montana the story
OF inhuman treatment on the Atlas. |
Such cruelty IL half is true that the
men tell, is seldom encountered in |
ships OF the present day and will eff
fectually queer the Standard OIL ship
under her present management when
ever a crew Is needed.-Chronicle, July
