CREW.
We sailed from this port in the brig Robert c. Wright
Captain Garland having signed articles 90 from New
York to Aspnwall and from thence TO port ports
Cuba and return TO port the United STATES which
we supposed would be New York. On the voyage out
and at AspinwalI worked as hard could never
being uncyi or in any way doing anything TO dspleasc
The captain the officers. We continually ihrca
ened with shooting and the captain often remarked
he had in Baltimore should 60 up into the country
while he could walk around the sti Gets as gentleman
We supposed he meant that he would sell us. Al Aspin
wall the second mate away, and said he would
go to Baltimore in the brig We went from Aspinwal TO
Trinidad, in Cuba, and could get cargo and the
captain told going Cenfuegos to get one or
might get at Cardenas but after got he
told US wo going TO Baltimore and he again com
mcnced his promises Of licking and selling us for
slaves. Now we did not ship 70 60 Baltimore or any
other slavehoding place: and of course did not Ike
the idea Of going where liberty might be forever
to We told the captain several times that did not
want to 60 to that place. and he told us 1t Of
our business where the vessel went and now that he
had us on board he would do az he pleased With
us. He told Charley Simpson that he would give
s s% and ,Ss fS as s, Ls Would TAKE
be the making of him We talked ,hc matter overfor
ward, and TO the conclusion tnN we should not 40
into Baltimore, and accordingly all went aft TO the
captain and frankly told him did ship 10 go TO
slave port and he must take back New York where
shipped lie cursed US and told ms to go forward and
tend to business Again protested az freemen
and appealed his feelings but he laughed Al
that time we made display Of force, and not
armed either with knives clubs or any weapons nor did
to do any harm. The mate, Mr.. Thompson wanted
to cut some Of with cu!isss, but the captain pre-
vented Him. Finding that we were firm in our demand
the captain al last sad he would TO Now York and
worked at ships duty usual, rot one OF us being
confined or otherwise deprived Of our liberty And we
do not think have done any crime for only sought
retain liberty, believing that if VIC wen into Balti
more we would be sold for slaves.
