| Notes | This ship embarked 200 enslaved people on the coast, lost 70 during the voyages, and was seized, upon her arrival at Una, by the authorities; 80 were appropriated by them and their friends, and 50 sickly women and children sent up here, where they were lodged in Fort Brum for security, but died in so mysterious and rapid manner, that I question if any one of them will enjoy the blessing of that freedom which the provincial authorities no doubt intended for them. |
