CAPTAIN CANOT. THE SLAYER

Below we give some extracts from this book. It is a perfect revelation of the slave trade by one who was for twenty years engaged in it. The following extracts relate to scenes which occurred on ship-board.

ssntt.-rox iii A suvsa.

But wit and cleverness are not all in this world. Our captain returned in high spirits to his vessel; but we hardly reached -the open sea before he was proetralt-d with an ague which re- fused to yield to ordinary remedies, and finally ripened into a fever, that deprived him of reason. Other dangers thickened around us. We a been several days oil the Cape of Good Hope, buffering a series of adverse gsles. when word was brought me sftcr‘a night of weary watching. that several slaves were ill of small-pox. Of all calamities that occur in the voyage of a slaver, this is the most dreaded and unmanageable. The news appalled me. Impettione with anxiety I rushed to the captain, and regardless of fever and insanity, disclosed the dreadful fact. He stared at me it minute as if in doubt; then opening his bureau and poictini: to a long coil of combustible material. said that it communicated through the decks with the powder magazine, and ordered me tu—“blow up the brig ."'

The master‘! madness sobered his mate. I last no time in securinrr both the dangerous implement and its perilous owner, while I called the officers into the cabin for inquiry and consultation as to our desperate state.

The gale had lasted nine days without inter- mission. and during all this time with so much violence, that it was impossible to take off the gratings, release the slaves, purify the decks, or rip the wind-sails. When the first lull occurred, a thorough inspection of the eight hundred was made. and odeolli announced. As life had de- parted during the tempest, a careful inspection of the body was made, and it was this that first dis- closed the pestilence in our midst. ‘he corpse was silently thrown into the sea. and the malady kept secret from crew and negroes.

When breakfast was over on that fatal morning. I determined to visit the slave deck myself, and ordering an abundant supply of lanterns, descrnd. ed to the cavern, which still reeked horribly with human vapor. evcnaftcr ventilation. But here, else! Ifound nine of the negroee infected with the disease. We took counsel as to the use of laurlanum in ridding ourselves speedily of the sufi'erers.—a remedy that is seldom and secretly used in desperate cases to preserve the living from coiitauiorr. But lt,was quickly resolvcd,thal it had already gone too for, when nine were pros- trsted. to save the rest by depriving them of life. Accordingly. these wretched beinue were at once sent to the forecastle as a hospital, and given in charge to the vaccinated or inoculated as nurars. The hold was then ventilated and Iinied; yet be- fore the gale abated, our sick list was increased to thirty. The hospital could hold no more. Twelve of the sailors took the infection, and fifteen corpses had been cast into the sea

reserve was now at an end. Body after body fed the deep. and still the pale held on. last. when the wind and waves hurl lulled so much as to allow the gratings to be removed from our hatches, our consternation knew no bounds, when we found that nearly all the slaves were dead or dyinir with the distemper. I will not dwell on the scene or our sensations. It is a picture that must gape with all its horrors before the least vivid imagination. Yet there was no time or lnngorir or sentimental sorrow. Twelve of the stoiitrst survivors were ordered to drag out the dead from among the ill, and thnughtliey were constantly drenched with rum to brutalize them, still we were forced to aid the nanir try reckless vnluntvers from ottr crew, who, arming their hands with tarred mittens, flung the fuetid masses of putrefaction into the sea! .

One day was a counterpart of another: and yet the love of life. or, perhaps, the love of tzoltl, made its fight the monster with It courage that be- came a better cause. At length death was satis- liml, btit not until the eiizlrt liunrlrrd beiirtzs we had sliipped in high health had dwindled to four hundred and ninety-seven skeletons !

A II I‘.VOL‘I'.

lhave always regretted that I left Ayridrih on my ltnineward voyage without interpreters to aid

'ln the necessary intercourse with our slave-s.

There was no one on board who understood a word oftlrr-tr dialect. Many cumplrrints from the netzriws that would pave been tlisrnissed or calls- farrnrilv adjusted, had we cflmpl'9llPIltIl?(l their vivacious tongues and grievances were passed over in silence or hushed with the lash. Intli-ed, the whip alone was the emblem of La EstreI|a’s discipline; and in the end it taught me the sad- dest of lessons. From the beginning there was manifest discon- tent smomz the slaves. l cndeavoirrcd at first to lease and at-commridate them by it precious man- ner; but munncr alone is not appreciated by im- tsmed Africans. A few days after our departure. a slave leaped overboard in a fit of passion. and another choked himself during the night. These two suicides. in twenty-four hours, caused tnuch uneasiness among the ollicers, and induced me_ to make every preparation for a revolt. ye had been at sea about three weeks without further disturbance. and there was so much merri- met among the gangs that were allowed to come on deck. that my apprehensions began to wear a_arsy. Suddenly, howevcr, one fair afternoon. a squall broke forth frotn an almost cluutlless sky ; and as the bostswsin’s whistle piped all hands to take in sail. a simultaneous rush was made by the conllaed slaves at all the after-gratings. and amid the confusion of the rising gale, they NlIt+’.|lf- re sentry, at the furolisidi celled the cook’! axe. and sweeping it round him like a scythe. kept at hey the band" that sought to emerge from below lilm.

brolren water-esskl. or billets of wood, found in the hold. The sudtlennees of this outhrealr did not sppsl me, for, in the dangerous life of Africa. a trader must be always sdrnonl ed and never ofl‘ his guard. The blow that prostraled the first white man was the earliest syrnptern I detected of the revolt; but. in an instant, I had the arm- chest open on the quarter-deck, and the mats and stewart beside me to protect it. Matters, how- ever, did not stand so well forward of the main- mast. Four of the hands were disabled by clubs, while the rest defended themselves and the wounded as well as they could with lisndspiltcs, or whatever could suddenly he clutched. I had always charged the cook, on such an emergency, to distribute from his ooppera a liberal supply of scalding water upon the helligerents; and. at the first sign of revolt, he endeavoured to baplile the heathen with his stesrninu slush. But dinner had been over for some time. so that the lukewarm liquid only irritated the savages. one of whom laid the unfortunate "doctor" bleeding in the acup-
