IX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY,
SHREE convicts, banished by
their country, abandoned by all but their truest friends, sailed from Ile de Re, near La Rochelle, on September 24 in a floating prison, the ship La Martiniere, bound for Devil's Island.
Two hundred and fifty-four of them are condemned to ten and fifteen years' hard labbur, with the prospect of release if they can escape the fever and disease which give the island such a high mortality.
