The narrative includes a description of an opium den, comparable to the crack houses of today, where women engaged in sex for drugs or lay passed out on the floor. The author paints a touching story of the innocent young girl lured away from home on a pretext and kidnapped into prostitution where within weeks she died from severe venereal disease.
