GUS butcheries with which EUROPE was IA
miliarized twenty years ago, and is openly
carried on by Arabs and Turks solely for
the supply of the Turkish market
In these raids the adult population is
mercilesslly butchered, both men and wom-
en-. Girls in particular and also boys are
alone wanted. The miseries they endure
in the long march to the Tripolitan coast
are said to be indescribable. Turkish ships
make monthly trips and always sail by
night with their human cargo. The price
of a girl between eight and twenty is from
