A Gruesome Relic of Convict Days The old Austrelian convict ship "Success" nas dropped anchor in New York. harbour, and is on exhibition. Over a quarter of a century ago it was alongside Circular Quay, in Sydney, and it told all too plainly its horrible story of the foul, barbarous penal system which was begotten by Britain in the beginning of Colonial settlement. Why this horrible relic of a shameful past has been preserved, when most other records of the inhumanity of the nld convict days have been destroyed, is puzzling to us It is an odious relic and so long as it lasts it will be a reproach to England and a horrible eviCa nee of the barbaric cruelty she practiced upon the unfortunate creatures shorn she cast out with the broad arrow as the official tnark of her die pleasure. Its existence to -day in an American port us the worst evidence of a shameful and degrading system begotten by her statesmen of the past.

From keel to topmast she cries alceid the greatest lesson the world has even known in the history of human progress. The Opinion of the Press. On May 5. 191;2, the distinguished editor of the New York American, in a full-page editorial, which was repocluced in ten other leading daily papers throughout the states, devoted his ',salient pen to a picture of the Coe %let Ship "Success" as a vivid and striking lesson in the progress of hte Describing manity and civilisation. the Convict Ship at a sad but val.., able lesson to the people of Americas, he wrote: "When you study these scenes of cruelty and atrocious torture, when you realise they have disappeared far ever from this earth except in isolated savage corners of the world, where men revert to animalism, and When ou realise that these sceres of brutal as they are, were as nothing compared with what preceded them, eon realise that this world DOES :Advance.

". . . We can thank God that the Convict Ship, with the men tortured and branded, is to-day an exhibition intended to aducatf and no 1;nger a nreactful reality, ',tanned to punish and brutalise." Dr. Frank Crane the brilliant editorial writer of the New York Globe in a leading article in that paper, dated May 3, 1913, said: ".. Here you see punishment ramsea to its highest power. The record of the cruelties here practised by this English people is so frightful that no orv.: can be blamed for net believing tise truth is more incredible than the wildest fiction. It is Impossible to believe the story, yet it is perfectly Iuthentic. "Out of the past this ghost ship sails to us.

On June 10, 1913, an article appeared in the New York Evening Journal, written by Dr. C. H.
