CHAPTER II.
The Pr;con Shin.

The greater portion of that voyage Of 8 days I would blot entirely from memory if possible. I cannot hope to describe it in any detail--the foul smells, the discomfort, the ceascless horror of food, the close companion ship of men turned into mere animals by suffering and distress, the wcari- some days, the black, sleepless nights, the poisonous air, and the brutality of guards. 1 can never forget these things. for they have scared my soul.
 The hatch above remained open, but carefully guarded night and day, while N@ were permitted on deck for air and exercise only in squads of ten, two hours out of every twenty-fOur. This alone served to break the dread mo- notony of the voyage. From our exer- else on deck we generally returned be- low drenched to the skin, but glad to even pay that price for two hours of fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze about at sea and sky. We were herd ed we'll forward, rope dividing us from the main deck, which space the passengers aft used as a promenade. There were only, three women aboard, a fat dowager, the young lady had noticed at authorization, and her col bred maid. I gained but one glimpse of the young lady in. the first two weeks at sea, and then only as we were being ordered down to our quar- ters for the night. Just as was ap- l-fA Al
