On the 18th the American OF war Mohawk anchored
s6 Stone Key. Two days before she arrived SLAYER

Was expected TO arrive, aud the place where she

such generally assemble such occasions being
posed Of traders having six eight retaner6 each
hsers and kidnappers, were in waiting.
:. m.nv NJ five hundred borsemen ALI Of them armed
10 the teeth; in fact il looked much more like warlke
camp than plantation. There the rich trader
shat had come to buy from fifty to hundred bozaes, to
pay cash down; the guajiro (counIyman), who came
with the idea Of buying fve or six to help him cultivate
Ms hacienda; the gambler, who would at any moment
turn trader or kdnappe according he treated by
fortune and the kidnappers, who came with othor
view but that Of stealing bosacs; all of these while
awaiting the arrival Of the SLAYER TO commence opera
tons, passed the time in gambling.
The vessel did not keep them long waiting she soon
appeared in the horizon and rapidly nearing the shore
cast her anchor close TO Land tho depth Of the
TOR would allow. The owners then wont board "a
arrange matters for the discharge but this did not take
place until O'Clock at night Then the boat loads
Africans were brought nigh unto shore, and they
nAde wade TO dry land, where they were received
inside OF circle OF armed men in pay Of the owners.
Afer having been all landed, the owners divided tho
cargo in shares, and each with his respective part
marched on to more secure place, refusing the brilliant
Offers of purchase made.
Out Of the SIC that taken in at the coast only
thirteen died.
This has been Of the most open and scandalous
landings. s well known here in town that the Governor
