THE LAST CARGO OF SLAVES.
Brought from Africa ON, a Wager-No,
Colonized Near Mobile.


Brought from Africa ON, wager-Now
Colonized Near Mobile.
In 1867 bet was made by the captain Of
river steamboat In Alabama with four north
ern men, passengers on board, that he could
bring over within two years load Of slaves
from Africa in spite of the strictness of the
laws against it. The captain secured vessel
and crew, says the st: Louis Globe-Democrat
and one afternoon in the autum of 1853,
hardly two years before the civil war broke
out. as he was seated on his piazza, a mounted
messenger told him that the vessel had ar
rived. Taking another boat he started to
meet the ship, took on the living cargo, paid
the crew, and sent them away, scuttled and
sunk the ship, and sailed up the river to Q
place Of safety, where the negroes were to re-
main until the planters who had agreed to
take them should be able to do so. The Fed
eral officers, getting word OF the affair,
started in pursuit, but the captain was on the
alert.
Handing bill Of generous denomination
to q trusted friend. he told him to see that the
men on board the government vessel had
plenty to drink. He himself got up steam
with the bacon with which the boat was be-
ing loaded. and steamed up the river. took
the negroes on board, and welt farther up
the strenm The Federal officers, delayed by
the incapacity OF their crew, gave up the
search and left. and as the planters did not
dare TO take the negroes they were never sep
arated.
After they were freed they settled few
miles above Mobile, In what is known as
'Little Africa" They are the only pure
blooded negroes in the country-not, how
ever, the only ones who have never mixed
with the whites. but the only ones who have
never mixed with the other blacks-and to-
day Little Africa" has distinctive race char
acteristics not to be found elsewhere in this
country.
