Transcript:
不可往此船作工 昨有友人告余「譯員」曰：往年五月間，余與一友人落桅船當廚工。其船名「 Puako」係載板往南非洲者。其船主殘暴，絕無人道。余友人在中途爲彼縛於該桅，鞭撻至痛。彼又困於黑房一星期，每餐糧食，祇清水一杯，麵包一塊，華友切不可往此船作工，以免受其痛苦也。English translation: Avoid working on this vessel - Yesterday a friend told me, the transcriber of this story: In May last year, my friend and I worked on a barque vessel as the kitchen helpers. The name of the vessel was "Puako", and it shipped boards of wood to South Africa. The ship-owner was cruel and violent, with no pity for others. My friend was tied to one of the masts and whipped hard. It was very painful. He was then shut in a dark room for one week, and only got a cup of water and a piece of bread for each meal. Chinese workers, please avoid this terrible experience and do not work on the vessel.
