Treatment of the Negro Slaves at sea; in a voyage from the Coast of Guinea to the West-Indies.
(From the Rev. Dr. Newton's Thoughts on the African Slave Trade—The author in the early part of life having been Captain of a vessel in that trade.)
WITH the English ships on the coast of Guinea (says Mr. Newton) the great object is to be full. When the ship is there, it is thought desirable she should take as many as possible.
And I have known a white man sent down among the men, to lay them in these rows to the greatest advantage, so that as little space as possible might be lost.
The heat and the smell of these rooms, when the weather will not admit of the slaves being brought upon deck, and of having their rooms cleaned every day, would be almost insupportable to a person not accustomed to them.
Epidemical fevers and fluxes, which fill the ship with noisome and noxious effluvia, often break out, infect the seamen likewise, and the oppressors and the oppressed fall by the same stroke.
I believe, upon an average between the more healthy, and the more sickly voyages, and including all contingencies, one fourth of the whole purchase may be allotted to the article of mortality.
I am now to speak of the survivors. When the ships make the land, (usually the West-India islands,) and have their port in view, after having been four, five, six weeks, or a longer time at sea,
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains. But this joy is short lived indeed. The condition of the unhappy slaves is in a continual progress from bad to worse.
Yet, perhaps, they would wish to spend the remainder of their days on ship-board,
know before-hand, the nature of the servitude which awaits them on shore; and that the dreadful hardships and sufferings they have already endured, would, to the most of them, only terminate in excessive toil, hunger, and the excruciating tortures of the cart-whip,
I hope the slaves in our islands are better treated now than they were at the time when I was in the trade. And even then, I know there were slaves, who, under the care and protection of humane masters, were, comparatively, happy.
One thing I cannot omit, which was told me by the gentleman to whom my ship was consigned, at Antigua, in the year 1751, and who was himself a planter.
By rigorously straining their strength to the utmost, with little relaxation, hard fare, and hard usage, to wear them out before they became useless, and unable to do service;
He farther said, that these skillful calculators had determined in favor of the latter mode, as much the cheaper; and that he could mention several instances,
When the slaves are landed for sale, (for in the Leeward Islands they are usually sold on shore,) it may happen, that after a long separation in different parts of the ship, when they are brought together in one place,
After a careful perusal of what I have written, weighing every paragraph distinctly, I find nothing to retract. As it is not easy to write altogether with coolness upon this business,
I have apprized the reader that I write from memory, after an interval of more than thirty years. But at the same time, I believe, many things which I saw, heard and felt upon the coast of Africa, are so deeply engraven on my memory,
