G White corporation of New York. | With the consummation of the sale to the Connecticut Electric Service company announced, the New York syndicate will retire 1rom the local concern.

Mrn Campbell said it was too early to * discuss what the new owner will do with its acquisition since the pur- ‘chasers have not yet decided this Mpatter themselves. {@Mr. Canipbell was unable at this ne to reveal the price per share be paid for the common stock. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, 6, 1029, Convict Ship “Success” at Hartford A page from the history of a time when even sheep stealing in Eng- land was punishable by death can be seen in the old British conviet ship Success, the oldest vessel afloat, which is now on exhibition in Hartford another 10 days or two weeks, and will be open to the pub- lie daily, including Sunday, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 11 at night Graphically illustrating by actual exhibits the tale of man’s inhu- manity to man the old ship, now in her 139th year, is fulfilling the last years of her life by educating mankind to a greater gentleness to mankind. The famous vessel, built dia in 1790, has been filled with hundreds of electric lights which enable visitors to see and examine her many exhibits by night-as well as by day. A corps of expert guides and lecturers accompany the visi- tors through the three decks of the ship, explaining the many poiats of interest. A trip through the old yellow fulk, which crossed the broad At- lantic under her own sail in. 96 days, turns back the clock to the middle ages. Here, in their original state, are preserved the cells and dungeons in which men and women were confined. the instruments used to torture them, and the official in In- records of their crimes, trials and sufferings. On the officers’ quarters beneath [the high quarter deck, visitors will find old handcuffs, locks and keys and original | documents relative to the trial, de- portation and confinement of the prisoners. Ftchings and rare wood cuts showing the treatment of |prisoners and ancient muskets and weapons of assault are also shown. On the main deck. immediately {outside of the officers’ quarters. | visitors are shown the original leg |irons used aboard the convict ship |when she was engaged in trans- porting men, women and children from England and Ireland to Aus- |tralia’ for terms of exile which | were never less than seven years and often ranged fo the term of | their natural lives. These leg frons are heavy, ranging from seven to 56 ponnds. The orizinal pumps of [the ship are still in use and can |also be scen. | Another feature of the convict |8hip is the giant ringed stone to which a score or more convicts from the Success were chained while quarrying stone in Australia.

The ealy |Cennsoticut . publlc “wtiiities ~coms were manacled, and the cat o' nine tails which was used to whip them, as well as the coffin bath, into which they were dipped, occupy other parts of the main deck. Relics from the prisons of the middie ages are also displayed on the main deck. On the two lower decks are rows of cells and each cell has its own story. On the lower deck, used for' solitary confinement prisoners, are the infamous black holes. Into these airless, lightless, slope sided black cubicles, the most refractory pris- oners were chained to a ring bolt, unable to sit down or to stand up. It was in 1802 that the Success was taken from the East Indian service (she had been carrying spices to Europe) and made the flagship of the British penal fleet. She remained in the business of |transportation until 1861. Sunk in 1885 by irate Australians, she was raised five years later.
