AFRICAN SLAV TRADE.
Capture of Negr cs in 1645 by ar
American Ships Crew.

Capture of Negr in 1645 by an
American Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which We have a
definite record, tells us somewhat OF
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt. Smith, went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
slaves. Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast of Guinea for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there. with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,
that is, and to liven matters a little,
the Yankees and the Londoners united,
and "on pretense of some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer'-the
expressive name of a small cannon-at-
tackled negro village ON Sunday, kill
ed many of the inhabitants and made a
few prisoners. two of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
GINA, dS recorded Dy JOHH Role, tne
first American squaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
OF the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share of the plunder. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
of the voyage resulted in a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although 1t was not a Grim
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with a three-fold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa Ia decision that was typical of
what was to Gomez. but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John II. Spears
