SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH SKAS.
GERMAN CAPTAIN'S NARRATIVE.
Some extrapidloary statements regarding slave bunting to the South Sena were made to an American interviewer recently by a master mariner named Wagner, who is described as having been for fourteen months (from 1903 to early inst spring) the central "figure to the notorious "blackbird" schooner Samoa. During that time he was first mate on the Samoa and says he captured 1,200 blacks for use as slaven on the big copra plantations

Speaking of his experiences recently, Cap. tain Wagner said: "It is generally supposed that slavery no longer exists. That is a mis- take. For fourteen months I was first officer on the slave ship Samoa. During that time we captured 1,200 blacks for tits, South Sen plantations. The Samoa is a three-masted

Traffic and Plantation Company of Samoa. This firm is one of the oldest and largest planters in the South Seas. They expert thousands of pounds of copra every year.
"I went down there in 1903, The first mate of the Samoa was then suffering from a spear wound, got in a battle with the natives, so Captain Habernick engaged, me. We were appposed to be nothing but a small trading
schooner. But the Government officials knew what we were as well as we knew ourselves, When they came on board we would fill them up with champagne and good cigars, and they were satisfied.
GRIM, DETAILS:
/
"On the first voyage we made for New Britain, in the Solomon group, the schooner was manned by five whites and nineteen blacks, making a total of twenty-four, all told. When we reached New Britain took the nineteen blacks ashore and made for the first village we' saw, All my boys were armed with the regulation German army rifle, and could shoot
well. At the first village they saw us coming and the entire population fed to the woods, But we managed to get one woman.
"In some of the villages we would get two or three, never more than four. They are too hard to hold. Occasionally we managed to get oda to come with us willingly, but that was reldom, Sometimes we would take a chest of gaudy trinkets ashore and set it down in the village. The savages, attracted by the bright things, would gather around and start helping themselves. That was our opportunity. We would make a rush and grab two or three and then go on to the next village.
"We were to make the round trip in 'four month. During that time we had to get 300 natives. We got no wages. We were paid by the head. Captain Habernick got $5 apiece
for each native, and I, as chief mate, got Sr A hoad. But everything else was furnished. Clothing, provisions of the best kind, liquor by | the case and keg; and everything, else. We bad plenty of champagne aboard, but that was kept exclusively for the Government officials.
"On the first trip which I made we collected the 300 natives without any resious battles All the Solomon Islands were visited. We touched at New Hanover, New Ireland, New Britain and several of the others. The work was easy.
The natives were com paratively mild. They were only armed with bows and arrows and speare, and could do little damage to us with our repeating rifles. They are a small, bgly-looking lot of people. Although amely formed, they lack the splendid physique of the Samond natives. Neither are they so bravo nor so intelligent. The Samoan natives are a race that have made themselves respected, while the Solomon islanders are nothing more or less than cannibals.
"The natives that we captured were taken to the plantation at Samoa, where they were put to work gathering copra. They are suppos. ed to be hired for a term of three years. They are paid 6 shillings, or, in American money, $1.50 a month, but they have to take it out in trade. The Government knows what is going on; the officers know everything about the methods used in obtaining the natives, but they wink at it.
GRUESOME SCENES,
"On the next two trips we had several pitch. battles, The natives fought like demons, and we had hard work getting out of a couple of villages. But we got our blacks. When we reached Samoa, after the third round trip, we learned that the missionaries-five women and ave men-had been massacred on New
