The First English Slave Trader.

Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
lish slave trader. He formed Il company
composed of the leading men of London
and fitted out three small ships, which
sailed in 1862. Later Queen Elizabeth
lent Hawkins Jesus a large ship of her
own of 700 tons, and took shares in the
second African company. She not only
equipped the ship, but put 100 soldiers
on board to provide for contingencies.
On the second voyage Hawkins bought
400 negroes and had narrow escape
from losing them, owing to the lack of
