3 stench, and with my crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat…I now wished for the last friend, death, to relieve me; but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and on my refusing to eat, one of them held me…and laid me across, I think, the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely…In a little time after, amongst the poor chained men, I found some of my own nation…I inquired of these what was to be done with us. They gave me to understand we were to be carried to these white people’s country to work for them.
