"I must beg your reverence's kind pardon if I contradict you," said Paul Jones, with scornful bitterness. | "I must beg your reverence's kind pardon," said Paul Jones, with scornful bitterness. "When I was first aboard the Two Friends, slaver, I took the work like any other, and did my poor duty to my owners like any thoughtless sailor. We bought our freight when we must, and stole it when we could, – most of them were poor, gay-hearted children pleased with their beads and trinkets, and when we easily coaxed them on board they sang their foolish songs and played their tricks for us, and laughed until the very last; ‘t was a place where slavers had never come before. We weighed anchor, but they had no thought we should not bring them back. There was a mother with a good human face, who tended a hunchbacked boy that could not step alone; she had brought him, a heavy weight in her arms, to get some gifts with the rest. The captain had them take him from her to carry to the last boat that went ashore to fetch some sailors off; she stood on the deck, laughing, for to wait her own turn, but the light went out of her eyes; she stood like a stone, and saw them throw the poor creature upon the beach . . . they took her down quick between decks, and she shrieked all night above the rest, and in the morning she had bit the cords in two that bound her, and flew to the deck, leaped over the side and sank; we were almost out of sight of land. ‘God helping me, a sinner,' says I, ‘I shall never set my foot on board a hellish slaver again.' I had supped too full of horrors. I left the Two Friends when we came to Barbadoes, and forfeited all my share of gain." |
