San Francisco, July 18. Nineteen
survivors of several hundred South
Sea Islanders, kidnapped 18 years ago
from their native strand and sold in
to slavery among the coffee planta
tlons of Guatemala, arrived here to
day on the steamer City of Para. They
are free and homeward bound, travel
ing as Cook's tourists, with the Brit
lsh government paying the expenses.
The natives were kidnapped b
Captain Blackburn, who visited the
islands in his steamer, the Monser
rat, and, enticing them aboard, sailed
away. They were supposed to be con
tract laborers, bound to their Guate
maian employers for three years.
Ignorant of the language and In a
land where the law is sometimes the
dictator's will, it was easy to keep
them on the plantations, where they
slaved until their plight was made
known to the British government,
This, however, was not until 18 years
had passed and most of the natives
had died. Those returning have lit
tle to show for their years of toll.
Captain Blackburn was lout at sea
In December, 1894, when the Monser-
rat went down with all hands.
