Cabenda, and was put on boiird the brig Amelia,
as a slave, by Prince Conzee, his father. it is
the custom of his country for a mae, Neben in
want of mtinev; Ste. if heleta three or four child-
ren, to sell one or more of them, and kccp the
others. His father sold him and his sister to=
gether • his Sister is now here. When he went on
board the brig, he found a man,' named. Jack
White, a slave of the captain's, who bad come
from Charle•ton in the brig: t Heard that White,
- when in America, had stolen some articles,
for which his master.bad to pay. His .master had
given him a very severe flogging for this ; and ahea
)gaed him several times, when at Cabeuda, for
don:kermess -and fighting. White took oil' his
clothes ,and slimed the ,slaves his back, saying,
See hOw My Master has flogged me :- when he
has taken you to white- man's country, he will
flog you the same.' When the brig got to sea,
White urged the slaves to rise.
" One morning a noise was heard forward. The
captain called upon me on hearing the nohoe and
asked what was the matter ? I said I did not
Ituoiv. The -captain then went upon deck, with
the mate and the rest of the people they-had
only-three muskets, and a pair of ristali beleng-
ing to the captain.. It was rather liar;;, and the
slaves kept crying out, Jack, Jack I' .The cap-
tain then,spoke to the mate, and told hint to keep.
an eye upon Jack, and shoot Idle'. The slaves -
theu came to the barricado with large pieces of
wood ; and Jack White attempted to break the
barricado with a large hainmer. The mate saw-
. him, and shot him through the jar,.: the ball cut
away his tongue ; and when he fell down,. he
seized hold of the cable with his teethteand. died.
in that pO4ture. I was told that Jaelt White
opeued the hatches, and let the slaves upon deck:
they were not in irons .having been let oat some
days before; Thecaptain soon. utter went down
below, and-ordered the boat to be lowered down
from the stern, which was donee None of the
sailors WA te killed nine Oftheni and the captain,
went into'the boat ; and I 'Opened the cabin win-
dows-, and-handed them two baskets of 'bread, a
miece of ham, nine bottles of porter, nine bottles
of wine, and,two jars-of water... I wanted to .go
with him, but the captain would nut let me, say-
ing, You are a black man ; the slaves swill not
kill you ; and you see I have a small boat and too
y people in her.' They then hoisted two sails
in the boat,. and went away. -Three of the, Por-
taiguese a ; sailors ran into the women' room and
the boatswain, a mulatto man, ran upto the top
of the mast. When the boat was gone, the slaves
found theth and wanted to kill them t When I
ad-
vised them not to do so ;Joe if you kill them,
where Will you take the vessil I you do not know
low to make sail.' They:then consented to spare
their lives, on condition of their taking care of
the vessel. .A great number of slaves were killed,
about thirty, before the- captain ran away. "They
wete four Montheat sea before they came to Cape
Mount : for the, greatest part of the time they had
nothing to eat but a -iiery little farina (i. e. cas-
. .
Sada (Irmo and ground to flout;), and water to
drink. A very great number of the slaves (prin-
cipelly boys and girls) died of hunger."
John Roach, master of the brig Kitty, of Liver-
pool, declares, That on the ltith May, 1811, he
brought the brig Kitty to anchor at Cape MOunt,
where he found another brig (at anchor), which
on the following morning attempted to get under
weigh about six o'clock, and hoiStcd Portuguese
colours. 'The deponent then sent a boat for the
purpose of boarding her ; but was prevented, by
her threatening to_fire if it went near her. The
boot then returned, and about eleven o'clock on
the same dayewas manned and armed, and effected
the boarding of her, and brought from her one of
the former crew, with all the papers that could be
found. The deponent also state's, That from a
perusaishf the same, together with 'a journal be-
lt) taring.to the said brig, he discovered she was an
Auleticaa, fitted 'opt
.from Bahia to the coast of
Alteola,.for the procuring a cargo.,of slaves; and
that she sailed from.Calienda on the first day of
tianuary last past, bound to` the Havannab in the
island of Cuba; and that on the twentieth day of
January, in the latitude of one degree and thirty-
two minutes north, longitude twenty-four degrees
~ and twenty-one minutes west, the slaves rose and
took possession: of the said brig, and forced the
eaetain and the greater,part of the crew to take
to th-a- boat and leave her ; keeping, at the saute
et;hae, the boatswain and three others; to navigate
her; which they 'did front the above twentieth
(ley of January, to the fourteenth day of ;Kay fol-
lowing, on which day she arrived at Cape Mount.
