A CARGO OF SLAVES.
Life ON Board the Last Slave Ship as
Told by One Boarded Her

During the EN- bafkation l was engaged
separating those negroes who did not ap-
pear robust, or who had received some
trifiing injury in getting on deck, and
sending them to an improylsed hospital
made by bnlkheading a space in the rear
of the forecastle. The others as they
arrived, were slowed away by the Spanish
mate; SO that when all were aboard three
was Just room for each to lie upon one
side. AS no one knew what proportion
the men were, all were herded together.
The next morning the separation took
place; the women and girls We're all sent
on deck, and numbered about four hum
dred. Then close bulkhead was built
across the ship and other hunks con-
structed. The women were then sent be-
low, and enough men sent up to enable
the carpenter TO have room to construct
additional hunks. A more docile and
easily managed lot of creatures cannot be
imagined. No violence OF any kind was
necessary; it was sometimes difficult to
make them understand what was wanted;
but MS soon as they comprehended, i'm
mediate compliance followed.
The negroes were now sent on deck in
groups of eight and squatted around a
large wooden platter heaping full OF
cooked rice, beans and pork cut into
cutting off the head Of -four or other bar
rels, leaving about four inches of the
slaves. Each negro was given wooden
spoon, which all on board had amused
themselves in making during our forty
day trip. Barrel slaves Were sawed into
lengths Of eight inches, split into other
pieces oae and q half inch wide and then
shaped into a spoon with our pocket
knives.
It was surprising what good spoons
could be made IN That manner A piece
of rope yarn tied TO spoon ana hung
around the neck was the way every indi-
vidual retained his properly There not
being room on deck for the entire cargo
to feed at one time, platfers were sent pe-
tween decks. SO that all ate at ore hour,
three times daily. Casks OF water were
placed in convenient places, and an
abundant supply furnished day and night.
