human flesh. Yet before the various messes
were half broiled, every mouth was tearing the
dainty morsels with shouts ofjoy, denoting the
combined satisfaction of revenge and appetite.
In the midst of that appalling scene, heard a
fresh cry of eXultation, as II pole was borne INTO

more Africans are carried off from Africa, the
hetter-that the cruising squadronS, not the

would also stop the subterfuges, tricks, and viii
anies, employed to eyade it). and to let the trade
be carried ON openly and under proper regula-
| tions for health and comfort, in the case of
cmgrants.
