· MATE'S REIGN OF SAVAGERY.
Some time ago the "News of the World published a serial story entitled "The Ship of Fate," the chief character in which was a bullying ship's officer who terroris od the unfortunate sailors by his savage cruelty. This figure of fiction is vividly recalled by a cordially hated personality who has been clapped under hatches or, in non-nautical language, sent to prison. Evidence given at Spokane, Washington, in an action for damages against the owners of the barquentine"Anita Rolf," shows up in a lurid light the cruelty and ferocity of Frederick Hansen, the notorious "bully_mate" of that windjammer. Hansen is now serving a term of five years imprisonment for assault with Intent to murder on the high seas. Because of brutalities practised by him on sailors aboard the "Anita Rolf" during a voyage from..Van. couver to Newcastle, Australia, the owners of the craft were ordered to pay damages of £3,000, to four members of the crew. One of the four was blinded for life as the result of beatings administered by the "bally mate" with a knotted hawser. Another, attacked by Hansen with a belaying pin, ils lafd up with a fractured skull and a broken arm. The other two were beaten so badly that they will be | physically incapacitated from ever again sailing before the mast Six feet-four-inches-in-height, and weighing 280fb, all bone and sinew, Hansen is known in almost every port of the seven seas as n terror. Nicknamed "Hell-Fire" Hansen, he already has served one A motor-coach with 35 pas-term in prison for cruelties which sengers returning from Weston-resulted in the death of a sailor super-Mare to Bristol caught fire aboard the schooner "K.
