SHIPLOAD OF STOWAWAYS.
Sixty-Five Men Steal Passage on One
Vessel.

All stowaway records were smashed
when the Royal Mail liner Atrato re-
Gently arrived at Colon with sixty-ffve
West Indians who had secreted them
selves aboard to secure free passage to
the isthmus. where the attractiveness
of work on the Panama canal had
lured them. Fifty-e!ght of the men
had stolen aboard at Trinidad and the
remainder at Barbados.
The isthmian authorities were sur
prised when the extraordinary free
passenger list was reported to them
by the angry steamship captain, who
was made to give bond of $4,000, as
none of the stowaways had the SIS re-
quired to permit them to land While
being transferred to shore seven of the
men escaped, and the steamship COM
pany forfeited 500. The remaining
fifty EIGHT were given employment by
the canal commission.
