THE STORY OF THE NOTORIOUS
 CONVICT SCHOONER

Built in 17s0 A. D., at Moulmain in British India. the old Convict Ship Success is by many years the oldest ship afloat today and is now tho only remaining survivor of England's fleet of felon transports. "Ocean Cells they were called and well did they de. servo the titlo.
 Massively built throughout Of solid Burman teak the Success" was first launched as an armed East India mer. chantman with beautiful brass guns bristllng from her sides and fitted handsomely for the reception on board of princes. nabobs and the wealthy traders of the Orient. whose goods. spices. aromatic teas, worries. jewels and other costly Injuries she carried over the seven seas to the ends of the earth. Her tonnage is 5S9. and she is 1S5 feet long and 29 feet beam. Her solid sides are 9 feet inches thick at the bilge. and her keelson is a solid teak baulk Of tremendous thickness. with sister keelsons little less than massive. Her square cut stern and quarter galleries stamp her at once with the hall-mark of antiQ- uity, and her bluff bow shows that she could never have distinguished her self for a high rate of speed Yet pains were taken to make her trim and smart. and fit to hold a leading place among her sister ships of the AngiO-Indian fleet. Remnants of great gilded scrolls upon a rich blue ground have been brought to light on scratch ing away the super-imposed coating. The quarter galleries, too. were orig inally decorated with massive and artistic carvings. Escutcheons can easily be traced at regular intervals from stem to stern. and the foc'sle head, raised high aloft forward. bears at It's extremity a symbol of inno. cence and beautiful womanhood in the original figurehead of exquisite design-a strangely Inappropriate em- blem in the days when crime-stained conricts in clanking chains put to flight all thoughts of innocence and beauty.
 Broken only by an occasional con- flict with a pirate craft. the Success" had an honored life on the ocean un- til 1892 when she was first chartered by the British government to trans port to Australia the overflow Of the home jalis. the unfortunate wretches who at that time were sentenced to from seven years to the term of nat ural life for ofienses that would now be considered trivial and petty, war

restless waters of the bay. Starved beaten and abused as they were, the wonder is that SO many of even those hardened williams were able to endure the punishment as they did.
 That the majority of them were cal ioas and irreclaimable-more like the wild beats than men-is possible; but the treatment they were shown to have received on board by the evil dence given at a subsequent govern. ment inquiry, was such to drive any man to desperation and despair. Con- atant applications of the "cat,' impris- onment in the "black hole" and other punishmcnts were the instruments re. lied upon for producing reform. No wonder that the hangman's halter dangling from the yard arm had no terror for these men! Death was a welcome release from the cruelties practiced on board the Success"
 In each of the larger cells on eith. CT side Of the corridor the floor is worn Into hollows and grooves, close against the doorway by the constant jangling and friction of the prisoners leg irons, as they stamped impatiently waiting for the stroke Of tho bell, that marked tho time for meals or exer- cise-a sad and silent testimony to countless hours of miserable eniur- ance.
 In 1857 the disclosures that had been made of the brutal and inhu. man treatment meted out to prisoners created fierce outcry in Australia amounting almost to revolt against the English government and result ing in tho abandonment of tho hulk system. For some years later-from 1860 to 1S6S-the Success" was used as a woman's prison, then she became successively O reformatory shop and ammunition store, and later all the prison hulks were ordered to be sold on the express condition that they were to be broken up, and their asso- citations lost to the recollection of the residents of Melbourne. By a clerical error, however, that condition did not appear upon the terms of the sale of the Success" Hence she became the only British convict ship anoat. It was not until 1890. however. that she appeared before the public as an ex- hibition ship In 1892 gang of Syd- ney, New South Wales residents very stealthily boarded her to revenge themselves for the outrage on their pride caused by the exhibition of their anceshtors, and an the figures were mutilated beyond repair The figures were replaced, but in order Co make their work more certain she was once moro attacked stuttled and sunk In Sydney Harbor but after the lapse Of some years and an enormous ex- pense her owners raised her, and since that time she has been in exhibition in the Antipodes colonies, but has cir cumnavigated Great Britain and Ire land twice. and been shown five times in London.

possession OF the office in the Dis
trict Court here when Judge Caven'

Capp's successor. The decision was
rendered on a demurrer and the 1910

This phase OF the case will now be
