AZ this place Adams was employed in agri-
cultural labors, which were very severe. The
Moorish sabbath, being also market day,
was q day Of rest TO the slaves. Adams mas

He refused, on the plea tbs. II vas holiday,
upon which ihe young man struck him on
the forehead with q cutlass, and In return
Adams knocked him down with his Est. Up
on this, the Moors surrounded Adams, beat
him so severely as TO knock out TWO OF his
teeth, and very nearly 70. kill him. The son
of tbs shcik saved his life, by deciding that

Soon after this the mate grew siek, and

and on his demonstrating against she cruelty,
he was stabbed by the shsik's sou, and died

for Mogsdore.
They travelled for fourteen or fifteen daya
over a country more ibickly Inhabited aud
better cultivated, than any which Adams had
yet seen. At Agadeer they entered the En-
pcror Of Moroeco's dominions, where the
governor told him, that be had hitherto been
among savasss, not the subjects Of the EN-.
peroS, but that now he would be safe, and be
secure of good treatment. On the first day
after this, they discovered the town of NIGGA

who frequently in'errogated him as to the
places where he had been, and advised him
to go to England, and gire an sccoun, of his

were At war, he declined going on board an
English vessel Mr.. Dupuis, therefore, sent
him to Tangiers 10 Mr.. Simpson, the Ameri-

from whence he finally wen, to England, as
has been mentioned.
1t is wonderful fact, that during this per-.

cruelty, Adams was never sick single day.
