The shrieks of the women and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable. Hapy perhaps for myself I was soon reduced so low here that it was thought necessary to keep me almost always on deck; and from my extreme youth I was not put in fetters. In this situation, I expected every hour to share the fate of my companions, some of whom were almost daily brought upon deck at the point of death. . . . One day, two of my wearied countrymen who were chained together, preferring death to such a life of misery, somehow made through the nettings and jumped into the sea . .. I believe many more would have done the same if they had not been prevented by the ship's crew, who were instantly alarmed. Those of us that were the most active were in a moment put down under the deck. . .. In this manner we continued to undergo more hardships than T can now relate, hardships which are inseparable from this accursed trade. pestilentiallikely to cause disease improvidentnot thinking ahead avaricegreed fetterschains, usually placed around the ankles 1.
