REBELLION PUTS NEW COURAGE IN MEN They were fined for this by their Chinese bosses, they say, and pun- ished in more ways than one, but their courage in rebellmg put new spirit in the men—all save the dope fiends, the despised “hypos,” lured from the city’s streeta by promises of “hop” in Alaska. . They bent to the will of. their yellow masters, the men said, plead. ing, begging for “junk.” Once in Alaska it came in pitifuly small “papers” that failed to ease their tortures. They made the night hideous with thelr cries to God for dope, say the men. Here is the story of the Star of Poland and its crew, the “Star of Hell,” the men call {t, and the can neries of Bristol bay, as told to me by members of the crew: Boy members of the crew were compelled to take “hop,” in order to sleep in the hold of the ship, filled with the fumes of cooking opium. One boy was driven crazy by the use of drugs and disappeared after the ship reached Bristol bay, CONTRACTS WRITTEN IN SPANISH .
