fore the committee investigating the
atrocities in the Putamayo rubber
fields in Peru.
Arana has been held responsible for
the system by which many Indians
were killed or cruelty maltreated. He
admitted in his testimony that the
forced labor of the Indians revealed in
a book written by an American civil
engineer and in consular reports was
true, but declared that the cruelties
had been exaggerated. He asserted
that he and the British directors OF
the company were ignorant of the con.
ditions in the rubber fields until they
learned of them through consular re
ports. Arana said the guilty persons
were employees of the company.

The vessel was roaring along on the
edge of a hurricane. The wind from
the northwest was blowing rs miles an
hour Rain came down in sheets and
the crash of thunder sounded like
battery OF heavy artillery in action.
Lightning flashed from the skies at
frequent intervals. One bolt struck
the main skysail yard and leaped in
bounds from it to the upper foresail,
to the lower foresail and then to the
crossjack yard, which it snapped on.
Second Mate William Swater was
standing beneath the mainmast. Near
by stood Augustus Rose, and cabin
boy Fred Hart was passing with a
tray of food. The pipe which Swater
was smoking was broken on at the
stem by the lightning. Roses wood
en- leg was shattered and the tray of
food was tossed into the sea. A pine
log about IS feet in length and about
IS inches square was split in half az
though by saw.
The last hurricane of the voyage, on
January 80, tore away every sail. The
vessel sprung a leak just above the
water line.

ago at Phippsburg, Me. She will prob
