The first object which saluted my eyes when
arrived on the coast was
ship, which was
the sea, and a slave
waiting for its
then riding at anchor, and
cargo. These filled me with
astonishment, which
was soon converted into
terror when I was carried on board. I was
immediately handled and tossed up to see if I
were sound by some of the crew; and I was
now persuaded that I had gotten into a world a
of bad spirits, andthat they were going to kill
me.
