The Commission has completed its labours, and a detailed report of the evidence of wholesale stave. dealing has been propared.

This heartrending human docu ment has been supplied to offeinla at Geneva, where Lord Cocil is making a determined fight to get Klavery outlawed by the League of

Nations.

Children Trapped.

The const-line of the Red Sen, around Abyssinia and Arabis, in the world's blackest spot in this barbaric trafic. Children and young girls are trapped by the thousand by raiding partics of slave drivers in

The search party which eventual- ly discovered the island was on the point of giving up their lonely and dangerous quest, when they sud- denly came across a swiftly-moving Arab sailing ship. Rifles wer the interior, pointed at the search party, who, forced to march long distances however, managed to gain the con- under cover of night, often with-fidence of the Arab crew, and were out food and water for many

hours, and shipped in secret to eventually allowed to board their the Island of Slaves, where they, ship, are kept closely guarded for the market.

Bands of pilgrims on the way to Mecca are 'regularly pounced upon by the slave raiders, who are known to finance pilgrimages in order to ensure their unsuspecting victims.

A Dank Prison.

The Island of Slaves is a small Lord Cecil's Staggering world barren expanso dotted with volcanis estimate of 5,000,000 slaves is re- craters. It is one of the most awe- garded as even too small.

The vessel's hold was a dank prison, where men, women andr girls-slaves freshly captured in the interior were cowering and shivering with fear. Neither the slave dealer nor the slave raiders who had trapped the unhappy wretches were on, board. Their part in the hideous traffic had *appareatly come to an end when the inves were handed over to the crew of the slave ship. A doctor who was a member of the search party found the slaves in the grip of fever, and he cured them with quinine. The plight of the slaves, none of whom had over seen the sea before they were ship- pad on board the slayo ship, was pitiable.
