THE CRIME OF A NATION

Never before has such an inter
esting and motion picture been pre-
sented to the American public as
the films Of this old prison hulk
about which hangs so much history
and tragedy. Her career began a cen
fury and quarter ago, when she
was magnificently equipped pass
enger vessel, trading between Lon
don and Calcutta. She was then the
pride of the ~Anglo-Indian colonial
ton fleet and fully armed to pro-
tect herself against the pirates that
then infested the Indian Seas.
Then came her days Of evil fame.
In 1902 she was chartered by the
British Government to convey pri-
soners to the newly established pen
al settlement Of Botany Bay, and
for forty-nine long years she was
engaged at this work.
In 1851 she was converted into a
floating prison and remained so for
seventeen years.
She was then sunk and lay under
the waters Of Sydney Harbor many
years. In 1890 she was raised to be
exhibited to the present generation
as relic of a bygone age and a
vivid and striking lesson in the pro-
gress of humanity and civilization.
